Study of R-parity-violating supersymmetric signals at an e-e- collider

We study the pair production of right selectrons at a 500 GeV $e^-e^-$ collider followed by their decay into an electron and a lightest neutralino. This lightest neutralino decays into multifermion final states in the presence of R-parity-violating couplings. A detailed analysis of possible signals is performed for some important regions of the parameter space. The signals are essentially free from the standard model backgrounds.

Constraining Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Framework via Ongoing Muon g-2 Experiment at Brookhaven

The ongoing high precision E821 Brookhaven National Laboratory experiment on muon g-2 is promising to probe a theory involving supersymmetry. We have studied the constraints on the minimal Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB) model using the current data of muon g-2 from Brookhaven. A scenario of seeing no deviation from the Standard Model is also considered, within a $2σ$ limit of the combined error from the Standard Model result and the Brookhaven predicted uncertainty level. The resulting constraint is found to be complementary to what one obtains from $b \to s+ γ$ bounds within the AMSB scenario, since only a definite sign of $μ$ is effectively probed via $b \to s+ γ$. A few relevant generic features of the model are also described for disallowed regions of parameter space.

Linear Collider Signal of a Wino LSP in Anomaly Mediated Scenarios

Selectron (smuon) pair-production in a next generation Linear Collider, yielding a fast electron (muon) trigger, a visible heavily ionizing track and/or a resolved soft pion impact parameter and overall $\mET$, is shown to provide a smoking gun signature for Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models with a neutral Wino as the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle, nearly mass-degenerate with the lighter chargino.

Radiative decay of the lightest neutralino in an R-parity violating supersymmetric theory

In an R-parity violating supersymmetric scenario, the lightest neutralino $\tilde χ^0_1$ is no longer a stable particle. We calculate the branching ratio for the decay mode $\tilde χ^0_1 \longrightarrow νγ$ which occurs at the one-loop level. Taking into account bilinear as well as trilinear lepton number violating interactions as the sources of R-parity violation, we make a detailed scan of the parameter space, both with and without gaugino mass unification and including the constraints on the neutrino sector from the recent Superkamiokande results. This study enables one to suggest interesting experimental signals distinguishing between the two types of R-parity breaking, and also to ascertain whether such radiative decays can give rise to collider signals of the type $γγ$ + $\not {\rm E}$ from pair-produced neutralinos.

Constraining an R-parity violating supersymmetric theory from the SuperKamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos

The constraints on an R-parity violating supersymmetric theory arising from the recent SuperKamiokande results on atmospheric neutrinos are studied, with special reference to a scenario with bilinear R-parity violating terms. Considering both the fermionic and scalar sectors, we find that a large area of the parameter space is allowed, in terms of both the lepton-number violating entries in the superpotential and the soft R-violating terms in the scalar potential, and that no fine-tuning is required. However, the need to avoid flavour changing neutral currents puts additional restrictions on the theory, requiring either the R-violating terms in the superpotential to be smaller than the R-conserving ones, or a hierarchy in the R-violating parameters for different lepton flavours in the superpotential.

Correlation between neutrino oscillations and collider signals of supersymmetry in an R-parity violating model

Motivated by the recent Super-Kamiokande results on atmospheric neutrinos, we incorporate massive neutrinos, with large angle oscillation between the second and third generations, in a scenario with R-parity violating supersymmetry. We emphasize the testability of such models through the observation of comparable numbers of muons and taus, produced together with the W-boson, in decays of the lightest neutralino. A distinctly measurable decay gap is another remarkable feature of such a scenario.

Filtering Out Signals of Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking: Can We Always Eliminate Conventional Supersymmetric Effects ?

We investigate the signal $γγ$ + missing energy in a high-energy linear $e^+e^-$ collider, with a view to differentiating between gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking and the conventional supersymmetric models. Prima facie, there is considerable chance of confusion between the two scenarios if the assumption of gaugino mass unification is relaxed. We show that the use of polarized electron beams enables one to distinguish between the two schemes in most cases. There are some regions in the parameter space where this idea does not work, and we suggest some additional methods of distinction. We also perform an analysis of some signals in the gauge-mediated model, coming from the pair production of the second-lightest neutralino.

Testing Gauge-Gravitino Coupling in Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Through Single Photon Events

We show that the process $e^+e^- \to γ+$ missing energy, arising from the pair production of neutralinos, can probe the $γ-\tildeγ- \gravitino$ as well as the $Z-\tilde Z-\gravitino$ couplings in Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models. This enables one to study the mutual relationship of the Goldstino couplings of the different gauginos, a feature whose testability has not been emphasized so far. The Standard Model backgrounds get suppresed with the use of a right polarized electron beam. The energy and angular distribution of the emitted photon can distinguish such models from the minimal supersymmetric theory and its variants.

Some Implications of a Supersymmetric Model with R-Parity Breaking Bilinear Interactions

We investigate a supersymmetric scenario where R-parity is explicitly broken through a term bilinear in the lepton and Higgs superfields in the superpotential. We show that keeping such a term alone can lead to trilinear interactions, similar to those that are parametrized by $λ$-and $λ'$ in the literature, involving the physical fields. The upper limits of such interactions are predictable from the constraints on the parameter space imposed by the lepton masses and the neutrino mass limits. It is observed that thus the resulting trilinear interactions are restricted to values that are smaller than the existing bounds on most of the $λ$-and $λ'$-parameters. Some phenomenological consequences of such a scenario are discussed.
