Title:R-parity Conserving Minimal SUSY $B-L$ Model
View PDFAbstract:We propose a simple gauged U(1)$_{B-L}$ extension of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), where R-parity is conserved as usual in the MSSM. The global $B-L$ (baryon number minus lepton number) symmetry in the MSSM is gauged and three MSSM gauge-singlet chiral multiplets with a unit $B-L$ charge are introduced, ensuring the model free from gauge and gravitational anomalies. We assign an odd R-parity for two of the new chiral multiplets and hence they are identified with the right-handed neutrino superfields, while an even R-parity is assigned to the other one ($\Phi$). The scalar component of $\Phi$ plays the role of a Higgs field to break the U(1)$_{B-L}$ symmetry through its negative mass squared, which is radiatively generated by the renormalization group running of soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking parameters from a high energy. This radiative U(1)$_{B-L}$ symmetry breaking leads to its breaking scale being at the TeV naturally. Because of our novel R-parity assignment, three light neutrinos are Dirac particles with one massless state. Since R-parity is conserved, the lightest neutralino is a prime candidate of the dark matter as usual. In our model, the lightest eigenstate of the mixture of the $B-L$ gaugino and the fermionic component of $\Phi$ appears as a new dark matter candidate. We investigate phenomenology of this dark matter particle. We also discuss collider phenomenology of our model. In particular, the $B-L$ gauge boson ($Z'$), once discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, can be a probe to determine the number of (right-handed) Dirac neutrinos with its invisible decay width, in sharp contrast with the conventional $B-L$ extension of the SM or MSSM where the right-handed neutrinos are heavy Majorana particles and decay to the SM leptons.
