R-parity violation in $(t+\bar t)\tilde g$ production at LHC and Tevatron

We study the production of $(t+\bar{t}) \tilde{g}$ at the hadron colliders in an R-parity ($R_{p}$) violating supersymmetric model. This process provides us with information not only about $R_{p}$ violation, but may also help us in detecting the supersymmetry itself. It is possible to detect an $R_{p}$ violating signal (with single gluino production) at the future hadron colliders, such as Fermilab Tevatron Run II or CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), if the parameters in the supersymmetric $\rlap/ R_{p}$ interactions are not too small, e.g. for $m_{\tilde{g}}=1$ TeV, $λ^{''}=0.1$, still hundreds of events are produced at LHC with luminosity $30 fb^{-1}$. Even if we could not detect a signal of $ \rlap/R_{p}$ in the experiment, we get stringent constraints on the heavy flavour $\rlap/R_{p}$ couplings. In addition to the minimal supersymmetric standard model we have also considered some models with a heavy gluino as the lightest supersymmetric particle.

Singly charged higgses at linear collider

We consider the production of singly charged Higgs bosons in the Higgs triplet and two Higgs doublet models. We evaluate the cross sections for the pair production and the single production of charged higgses at linear collider. The decay modes of $H^+$ and the Standard Model backgrounds are considered. We analyze the possibilities to differentiate between triplet and two Higgs doublet models.

Flavour Violation in SUSY SU(5) GUT at Large tan beta

We study flavour violation in the minimal SUSY SU(5) GUT assuming all the third generation Yukawa couplings to be due to the renormalizable physics above GUT scale. At large $\tanβ,$ as suggested by Yukawa unification in SU(5), sizable flavour violation in the left (right) slepton (down squark) sector is induced due to renormalization effects of down type Yukawa couplings between GUT and Planck scales in addition to the flavour violation in the right slepton sector. The new flavour physics contribution to $K-\bar K,$ $B-\bar B$ mixing is small but might be of phenomenological interest in the case of $b\to sγ.$ The sign of the latter contribution is the same as the sign of the dominant chargino contribution, thus making the constraints on SUSY scale coming from $b\to sγ$ somewhat more restrictive. The most important feature of the considered scenario is the large rate of lepton flavour violation. Given the present experimental constraints, the $μ\to eγ$ and $μ-e$ conversion branching ratios are above the sensitivity of the planned experiments unless the SUSY scale is pushed above one TeV.

Tests of the left-right electroweak model at linear collider

The left-right model is a gauge theory of electroweak interactions based on the gauge symmetry SU(2)_R . The main motivations for this model are that it gives an explanation for the parity violation of weak interactions, provides a mechanism (see-saw) for generating neutrino masses, and has B-L as a gauge symmetry. The quark-lepton symmetry in weak interactions is also maintained in this theory. The model has many predictions one can directly test at a TeV-scale linear collider. We will consider here two processes (e,e -> q, q, barQ, barQ and e,e ->mu, nu, q, barQ) testing the lepton flavour violation predicted by the model. We will also discuss constraints on supersymmetric versions of the model.

The lightest neutral and doubly charged Higgs bosons of supersymmetric left-right models

We review the phenomenology of light Higgs scalars in supersymmetric left-right models. We consider models with minimal particle content (with and without non-renormalizable higher-dimensional terms) and with additional Higgs superfields. The upper bound on the lightest CP-even neutral Higgs boson in these models is larger than in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, and the Higgs couplings to fermions approach those of the Standard Model. Possibly light doubly charged Higgs boson may provide the best signature of these models.

Phenomenology of light Higgs bosons in supersymmetric left-right models

We carry out a detailed analysis of the light Higgs bosons in supersymmetric left-right models (SLRM). This includes models with minimal particle content and those with additional Higgs superfields. We also consider models with non-renormalizable higher-dimensional terms. We obtain an upper bound on the mass of the lightest CP-even neutral Higgs boson in these models. The upper bound depends only on the gauge couplings, and the vacuum expectation values of those neutral Higgs fields which control the spontaneous breakdown of the $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry. We calculate the one-loop radiative corrections to this upper bound, and evaluate it numerically in the minimal version of the supersymmetric left-right model. We consider the couplings of this lightest CP-even Higgs boson to the fermions, and show that in a phenomenologically viable model the branching ratios are similar to the corresponding branching ratios in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We then study the most promising particle for distinguishing the SLRM from other models, namely the doubly charged Higgs boson. We obtain the mass of this doubly charged Higgs boson in different types of supersymmetric left-right models, and discuss its phenomenology.

Radiative symmetry breaking and the ${b \to s γ}$ decay in generalized GMSB models

We study a class of generalized models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB). We find the parameters and the full particle spectrum of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) for all GMSB models with messenger multiplicities that satisfy the perturbativity of the gauge couplings up to the GUT scale. We give a detailed description of the algorithm that has been used to predict all the unmeasured parameters of the MSSM by taking (one-loop) radiative effects into account. We also calculate the branching ratio $BR(b \to s γ)$ and find that it always turns out to be larger than the standard model prediction. However, we find that the branching ratio typically remains within the current experimental bounds, except for some special cases with a light charged Higgs boson, or a small supersymmetry breaking scale and a negative $μ$-parameter.

Limits on tan beta in SU(5) GUTs with Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

By considering the constraints from nucleon decay we obtain upper limits on tan beta in generalized supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We find that the predicted values of tan beta in these models are mostly inconsistent with the constraints from nucleon decay.

New constraints on R-parity violation from μ-e conversion in nuclei

We derive new constraints on the products of explicitly R-parity violating couplings $λ$ and $λ'$ in MSSM from searches for μ-e conversion in nuclei. We concentrate on the loop induced photonic coherent conversion mode. For the combinations $|λλ|$ which in μ-e conversion can be probed only at loop level our constraints are in many cases more stringent than the previous ones due to the enhancement of the process by large $\ln(m^2_f/m^2_{\tilde f}).$ For the combinations of $|λ'λ'|$ the tree-level μ-e conversion constraints are usually more restrictive than the loop ones except for two cases which involve the third generation. With the expected improvements in the experimental sensitivity, the μ-e conversion will become the most stringent test for all the involved combinations of couplings.

Constraining the $SU(2)_R$ breaking scale in naturally R-parity conserving supersymmetric models

We obtain a relation between right-handed gauge boson mass and soft squark mass in naturally R-parity conserving general supersymmetric left-right models. This relation implies that either ${W_R}$ is lighter than twice the soft squark mass, or a ratio of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) in the model, denoted by $\tanα$, is close to its value of unity in the limit of vanishing D-terms. Generally, we find that for heavy $W_R$ $\tanα$ is larger than one, and that the right-handed sneutrino VEV, responsible for spontaneous R-parity breaking, is at most of the order $M_{SUSY}/h_{Δ_R}$, where $M_{SUSY}$ is supersymmetry breaking scale and $h_{Δ_R}$ is the Yukawa coupling in Majorana mass term for right-handed neutrinos. These constraints follow from $SU(3)_c$ and $U(1)_{em}$ gauge invariance of the ground state of the theory.

Mass of the lightest Higgs Boson in Supersymmetric Left-Right Models

We consider the lightest Higgs boson in naturally R-parity conserving supersymmetric left-right models. We obtain an upper bound on the tree level mass of this lightest Higgs boson. This upper bound depends on the $SU(2)_L$ and $SU(2)_R$ gauge couplings, and the vacuum expectation values of bidoublet Higgs fields, which are needed to break $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$. The upper bound does not depend on either the $SU(2)_R$ breaking scale or the supersymmetry breaking scale. We evaluate the bound numerically by assuming that the theory remains perturbative upto some scale $Λ$. We find that the bound can be considerably larger than in MSSM. The dominant radiative corrections to the upper bound due to top-stop and bottom-sbottom systems are of the same form as in the minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Constraining the scales of supersymmetric left-right models

We'll review our study of the constraints on the scales in the supersymmetric left-right model (SUSYLR). The conservation of color and electromagnetism in the ground state of the theory implies a relation between right-handed gauge boson mass and soft squark mass. Furthermore, in general for heavy $W_R$, $\tanα$ is larger than one, and the right-handed sneutrino VEV, responsible for spontaneous R-parity breaking, is at most of the order $M_{SUSY}/h_{Δ_R}$, where $M_{SUSY}$ is supersymmetry breaking scale and $h_{Δ_R}$ is the Yukawa coupling in Majorana mass term for right-handed neutrinos.

Phenomenology of SUSY-models with spontaneously broken R-parity

We review the consequences of spontaneously broken R-parity in present and planned lepton-lepton colliders. In the left-right models the R-parity, $R=(-1)^{3(B-L)+2S}$, is preserved due to the gauge symmetry, but it must be spontaneously broken in order to the scalar spectrum to be physically consistent. The spontaneous breaking is generated via a non-vanishing VEV of at least one of the sneutrinos, which necessarily means non-conservation of lepton number $L$. The R-parity violating couplings are parametrized in terms of mixing angles, whose values depend on model parameters. Combined with the constraints derived from low-energy measurements this yields allowed ranges for various R-parity breaking couplings. The R-parity breaking allows for the processes in which a single chargino or neutralino is produced, subsequently decaying at the interaction point to non-supersymmetric particles.

Signals of spontaneous R parity breaking at LEP and at a linear collider

We study the production of neutralinos and charginos at LEP and at a linear collider in the case of spontaneously broken R-parity. We first investigate the constraints on the single neutralino and chargino production from the LEP 1 experiments, and then we consider the production at LEP 2 and at a linear collider. We concentrate on the supersymmetric $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ model, where the spontaneous R-parity breaking is inevitable and is associated with the breaking of the LR-symmetry.

Testing the left-right symmetric model at linear collider

We review possible tests of the left-right electroweak model at future linear colliders, concentrating on signatures of the central predictions of the model, i.e. right-handed currents, massive neutrinos and triplet Higgs bosons. We analyse processes in e+e-, e-e- and e-γcollision modes. We present the mass reaches for the new particles at linear collider and sensitivities to their couplings.

Doubly charged Higgs at LHC

We have investigated production of doubly charged Higgs particles $Δ_{L,R}^{++}$ via WW fusion process in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies in the framework of the left-right symmetric model. The production cross section of the right-triplet Higgs is for representative values of model parameters at femtobarn level. The discovery reach depends on the mass of the right-handed gauge boson W_R. At best $Δ_R^{++}$ mass up to 2.4 TeV are achievable within one year run. For $Δ^{++}_L$ the corresponding limit is 1.75 TeV which depends on the value of the left-triplet vev v_L. Comparison with Drell-Yan pair production processes shows that studies of the WW fusion processes extend the discovery reach of LHC roughly by a factor of two. The main experimental signal of a produced Higgs would be a hard same-sign lepton pair. There will be no substantial background due to the Standard Model (SM) interactions, since in the SM a same-sign lepton pair will always be associated with missing energy, i.e. neutrinos, due to lepton number conservation.

Constraints on doubly charged Higgs interactions at linear collider

Production of a single doubly charged Higgs boson $Delta^{--}$ in polarized $e^+e^-$ and $e^+γ$ collision modes of the linear collider have been investigated. The mass range of $Delta^{--}$ to be probed extends up to the collision energy. The diagonal lepton number violating Yukawa coupling $h_{ee}$ will be tested at least three orders of magnitude more strictly than in present experiments.

Constraints on $R$-parity violating interactions from $μ\to eγ$

The lepton number violating process $μ\rightarrow eγ$ is used to study the lepton number violating couplings in MSSM extended by terms violating $R$-parity explicitly. Bounds are obtained for the products of $λ$- or $λ'$-type couplings. It is found that many of these limits are more stringent than the ones obtained previously.
