Supersymmetry and Neutrino Masses
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutrino masses are zero in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. I discuss how they may become nonzero with new interactions which may or may not violate R-parity conservation. ———————– Talk presented at the 6th Corfu Summer Institute on Elementary Particle Physics, 1998.

Supersymmetry and neutrino mass
The existence of neutrino mass and mixing is a strong pointer towards physics beyond the standard model. An overview of the possibility of having neutrino masses in supersymmetric theories is attempted here. Some of the recent works reviewed suggest Dirac masses, whereas others include Majorana masses as well. Side by side, it is shown how R-parity violating supersymmetry opens new avenues in t...
متن کاملDirac neutrino masses from generalized supersymmetry breaking.
We demonstrate that Dirac neutrino masses in the experimentally preferred range are generated within supersymmetric gauge extensions of the standard model with a generalized supersymmetry breaking sector. If the superpotential neutrino Yukawa terms are forbidden by the gauge symmetry [such as a U(1)'], sub-eV scale effective Dirac mass terms can arise at tree level from hard supersymmetry break...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses, Leptogenesis, and Unification in the Absence of Low Energy Supersymmetry
We explore generating the dimension five operator leading to neutrino masses by integrating out heavy SU(2)L triplet fermions. We exhibit a model that has a neutrino mass matrix consistent with observations. In addition, the model is capable of producing the observed baryon asymmetry, and unification can be achieved without dangerous proton decay. Supersymmetry can be broken at the fundamental ...
متن کاملCalculable inverse-seesaw neutrino masses in supersymmetry
We provide a scenario where naturally small and calculable neutrino masses arise from a supersymmetry breaking renormalization-group-induced vacuum expectation value. We adopt a minimal supergravity scenario without ad hoc supersymmetric mass parameters. The lightest supersymmetric particle can be an isosinglet scalar neutrino state, potentially viable as WIMP dark matter through its Higgs new ...
متن کاملSneutrino-antisneutrino mixing and neutrino mass in anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario.
In supersymmetric models with nonzero Majorana neutrino mass, the sneutrino and antisneutrino mix, which may lead to same-sign dilepton signals in future collider experiments. We point out that the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario has a good potential to provide an observable rate of such signals for the neutrino masses suggested by the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation...
متن کاملSolving the Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Problems with Supersymmetry
The simplest unified extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bi-linear R–Parity violation provides a predictive scheme for neutrino masses which can account for the observed atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies. Despite the smallness of neutrino masses Rparity violation is observable at present and future high-energy colliders, providing an unambiguous cross-check of the...
