Large Lepton Number and High Temperature Symmetry Breaking in MSSM
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is known that a large neutrino number, of the order of a few percent of the entropy of the universe, leads to symmetry breaking at high temperature. We show here that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) this implies the breaking of electromagnetic charge invariance at T ≫ MW allowing for the solution of the monopole problem.

Discrete gauge symmetries and proton stability in the U(1)-extended MSSM
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with conserved Rparity suffers from several fine-tuning problems, e.g. the μ-problem and the problem of proton decay through higher dimension operators. Both of these problems can be avoided by replacing R-parity with a non-anomalous U(1)′ gauge symmetry which is broken at the TeV scale. The new gauge symmetry does not necessarily forbid all reno...
متن کاملEffects of the neutrino B-term on the Higgs mass parameters and electroweak symmetry breaking
To embed the seesaw mechanism in the MSSM, two or three right-handed neutrino supermultiplets, Ni, have to be added to the model. In the presence of these new superfields, the soft supersymmetry breaking potential includes a lepton number violating mass term which is known as the neutrino B-term, MBνÑÑ/2. In this paper, we study the effects of Bν on the Higgs mass parameters. Using the conditio...
متن کاملThe Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM)
The structure of the MSSM is reviewed. We first motivate the particle content of the theory by examining the quantum numbers of the known standard model particles and by the requirement of anomaly cancellation. Once the particle content is fixed we can write down the most general renormalizable superpotential. However such a superpotential will contain terms breaking lepton and baryon number wh...
متن کاملDegenerate Neutrinos and Supersymmetric Inflation
A moderate extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which includes a U(1)B−L gauge group (B and L being the baryon and lepton number) and a Peccei-Quinn symmetry, U(1)PQ , is presented. The hybrid inflationary scenario is automatic and ‘natural’ in this model. The μ problem of the minimal supersymmetric standard model is solved by coupling the electroweak higgses to fields which b...
متن کاملMinimal Flavour Violation and Neutrino Masses without R-parity
We study the extension of the Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) hypothesis to the MSSM without R-parity. The novelty of our approach lies in the observation that supersymmetry enhances the global symmetry of the kinetic term and in the fact that we consider as irreducible sources of the flavour symmetry breaking all the couplings of the superpotential including the R-parity violating ones. If R-p...
