Search for a light Higgs boson decaying to two gluons orss¯in the radiative decays ofΥ(1S)
2013
We search for the decay Υ(1S)→γA^0, A^0→gg or ss , where A^0 is the pseudoscalar light Higgs boson predicted by the next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. We use a sample of (17.6±0.3)×10^6 Υ(1S) mesons produced in the BABAR experiment via e^+e^-→Υ(2S)→π^+π^-Υ(1S). We see no significant signal and set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the product branching fraction B(Υ(1S)→γA^0)·B(A^0→gg or ss) ranging from 10^(-6) to 10^(-2) for A^0 masses in the range 0.5–9.0 GeV/c^2.
Search for chargino-neutralino production inpp¯collisions ats=1.96 TeVwith high-pTleptons
2007
We present a search for the associated production of charginos and neutralinos in pp collisions at s=1.96TeV. The data were collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II) and correspond to integrated luminosities between 0.7 and 1.0fb-1. We look for final states with one high-pT electron or muon, and two additional leptons. Our results are consistent with the standard model expectations, and we set limits on the cross section as a function of the chargino mass in three different supersymmetric scenarios. For a specific minimal supersymmetric standard model scenario with no slepton mixing, we set a 95% C.L. limit at 151GeV/c2. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
Lepton flavor violation beyond the MSSM
2015
Most extensions of the Standard Model lepton sector predict large lepton flavor violating rates. Given the promising experimental perspectives for lepton flavor violation in the next few years, this generic expectation might offer a powerful indirect probe to look for new physics. In this review we will cover several aspects of lepton flavor violation in supersymmetric models beyond the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In particular, we will concentrate on three different scenarios: high-scale and low-scale seesaw models as well as models with R-parity violation. We will see that in some cases the LFV phenomenology can have characteristic features for specific scenarios, implying that…
Electric dipole moments from flavor-changing supersymmetric soft terms
2008
The standard model predictions for the hadronic electric dipole moments (EDMs) are well far from the present experimental resolutions, thus, the EDMs represent very clean probes of New Physics (effects. Especially, within a minimal supersymmetric standard model framework with flavor-changing (but not necessarily CP-violating) soft terms, large and potentially visible effects to the EDMs are typically expected. In this paper we point out that, beyond-leading-order effects, so far neglected in the literature, dominate over the leading-order effects in large regions of the parameter space; hence, their inclusion in the evaluation of the hadronic EDMs is unavoidable.
A Supersymmetric Solution to the Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Problems
1999
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 in terms of bi-maximal neutrino mixing. The maximality of the atmospheric mixing angle arises dynamically, by minimizing the scalar potential, while the solar neutrino problem can be accounted for either by large or by small mixing oscillations. One neutrino picks up mass by mixing with neutralinos, while the degeneracy and masslessness of the other two is lifted only by loop corrections. Despite the smallness of neutrino masses R-parity violation is observab…
Neutrino masses and mixings from supersymmetry with bilinear R-parity violation: A theory for solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations
2000
The simplest unified extension of the MSSM with bi-linear R--Parity violation naturally predicts a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, in which one neutrino acquires mass by mixing with neutralinos, while the other two get mass radiatively. We have performed a full one-loop calculation of the neutralino-neutrino mass matrix in the bi-linear \rp MSSM, taking special care to achieve a manifestly gauge invariant calculation. Moreover we have performed the renormalization of the heaviest neutrino, needed in order to get meaningful results. The atmospheric mass scale and maximal mixing angle arise from tree-level physics, while solar neutrino scale and oscillations follow from calculable one-lo…
Production and decays of supersymmetric Higgs bosons in spontaneously brokenRparity
2005
We study the mass spectra, production and decay properties of the lightest supersymmetric CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons in models with spontaneously broken R-parity (SBRP). We compare the resulting mass spectra with expectations of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), stressing that the model obeys the upper bound on the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass. We discuss how the presence of the additional scalar singlet states affects the Higgs production cross sections, both for the Bjorken process and the "associated production". The main phenomenological novelty with respect to the MSSM comes from the fact that the spontaneous breaking of lepton number leads to the existence of…
Reconstructing Neutrino Properties from Collider Experiments in a Higgs Triplet Neutrino Mass Model
2003
We extend the minimal supersymmetric standard model with bilinear R-parity violation to include a pair of Higgs triplet superfields. The neutral components of the Higgs triplets develop small vacuum expectation values (VEVs) quadratic in the bilinear R-parity breaking parameters. In this scheme the atmospheric neutrino mass scale arises from bilinear R-parity breaking while for reasonable values of parameters the solar neutrino mass scale is generated from the small Higgs triplet VEVs. We calculate neutrino masses and mixing angles in this model and show how the model can be tested at future colliders. The branching ratios of the doubly charged triplet decays are related to the solar neutri…
Flavor-changing Higgs boson decays into bottom and strange quarks in supersymmetric models
2015
In this work, we explore the flavor-changing decays ${H}_{i}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}bs$ in a general supersymmetric scenario. In these models the flavor-changing decays arise at loop level, but---because they originate from a dimension-four operator---they do not decouple and may provide a first sign of new physics for heavy masses beyond the reach of colliders. In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we find that the largest branching ratio of the lightest Higgs (${H}_{1}$) is $\mathcal{O}(1{0}^{\ensuremath{-}6})$ after imposing present experimental constraints, while heavy Higgs states may still present branching ratios $\mathcal{O}(1{0}^{\ensuremat…
