We study the decay rate of process B->K l+ l- (l=e,mu) and some of its other related observables, like forward backward asymmetry (A_{FB}), polarization asymmetry (PA) and CP-asymmetry (A_{CP}) in R-parity violating (R_{p}) Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The analysis shows that R_{p}Yukawa coupling products contribute significantly to the branching fraction of B->K l+ l- within 1 sigma and 2 sigma. Study shows that PA and A_{FB} are sensitive enough to R_{p}Yukawa coupling products and turn out to be good predictions for measurement in future experiments.The CP-asymmetry calculated in this framework agrees well with the recently reported value(i.e. 7%).
We compute the supersymmetric (SUSY) corrections to the parity-violating, deep inelastic electron-deuteron asymmetry. Working with the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) we consider two cases: R parity conserving and R parity-violating. Under these scenarios, we compare the SUSY effects with those entering other parity-violating observables. For both cases of the MSSM, we find that the magnitude of the SUSY corrections can be as large as about 1% and that they are strongly correlated with the effects on other parity-violating observables. A comparison of various low-energy parity-vio…
We study one-loop contributions to the fermion electric dipole moments in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with explicit R-parity violating interactions. We obtain new individual bounds on R-parity violating Yukawa couplings and put more stringent limits on certain parameters than those obtained previously.
We summarized our report on leptonic flavor violating Higgs decay into mu + tau under the scheme of a generic supersymmetric standard model without R parity. With known experimental constraints imposed, important combinations of R-parity violating parameters which can give notable branching ratios are listed.
We use the precision electroweak data at LEP to place bounds on $B$-violating Yukawa couplings, two theoretically appealing examples being provided by $R$-parity--violating supersymmetry and diquarks. The couplings involving the third generation quarks are most severely constrained. These bounds are complementary to those obtained from low-energy processes.
We have developed an efficient formulation for the study of the generic supersymmetric standard model, which admits all kind of R-parity violating terms. Using the formulation, we discuss all sources of fermion dipole moment contributions from R-parity violating, or rather lepton number violating, parametersand the constraints obtained. Stringent constraints comparable to those from neutrino masses are resulted in some cases.
We present the two-loop $β$-functions for non-standard soft supersymmetry-breaking couplings including non-standard R-parity violating soft terms in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
We study CP violating B decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. We estimate how much R-parity violation modifies the SM predictions for CP asymmetries in B decays within the present bounds. The effects of R-parity- and lepton-number-violating couplings on the ratio of the decay amplitude due to R-parity violation to that of the SM can differ by one or two orders of magnitudes depending on the models of the left-handed quark mixing. It is possible to disentangle the R-parity violating effects from those of the SM and R-parity- conserving supersymmetric model…
The contribution of the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model to the neutron beta decay at the one-loop level is investigated. It is found that the baryon number and R-parity violating interactions contribute to the D correlation through one-loop corrections, while the tree level prediction is vanishing. The Fierz interference term is also investigated at the one-loop level by considering the lepton number and R-parity violating interactions. We show that future experimental progress can provide us with better constraints on some of the combinations of R-parity violating cou…
We investigate the possible role that baryon number violating Yukawa interactions may take in the inclusive decay $ B \to X_s γ$. The constraints, derived using the experimental results of the CLEO collaboration, turn out, in many cases, to be more stringent than the existing bounds.
Recent measurements of CP asymmetry in B --> phi K_S appear to be inconsistent with Standard Model expectations. We explore the effect of R-parity-violating SUSY to understand the data.
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.
The effective Hamiltonian for the R-parity violating couplings induced nonleptonic decay $B^-\to K^-K^0$ is calculated including leading log QCD corrections running from $m_{\tilde q}$, the mass of the up-type squark, to $m_b$. Experimental upper limit of this decay is used to give the bound on the R-parity violating couplings $λ''$.
Parity-violating asymmetries in polarized electron scattering have been interpreted as the asymmetries between opposite helicities of incoming fermion based on the approximation of the spin polarization operator. Here exact calculations of cross sections for parity-violating asymmetries in SLAC E158 and SLD have been performed using spin projection operators. And the parity-violating factor incorporating with spin polarization and momentum has been identified and shown that its sign depends on the spin polarization of incoming particle and the relative velocity of incoming and target particles…
We present the full two-loop beta-functions for the MSSM including R-parity violating couplings. We analyse the effect of two-loop running on the bounds on R-parity violating couplings, on the nature of the LSP and on the stop masses.
Parity-violating nuclear force, as may be accessed from parity violation studies in nuclear systems, represents an area of nonleptonic weak interactions which has been the subject of experimental investigations for several decades. In the simple meson-exchange picture, parity-violating nuclear force may be parameterized as arising from exchange of π, ρ, ω, or other meson(s) with strong meson-nucleon coupling at one vertex and weak parity-violating meson-nucleon coupling at the other vertex. The QCD sum rule method allows for a fairly complicated, but nevertheless straightforward, leading-order…
$D$- and $τ$-decays are used to place bounds on some $R$-parity--violating $λ'$-type Yukawa interactions. Some of these bounds are competitive with the existing ones, some are improved while some are new.
We study in the framework of R-parity violating supersymmetric theories the effect of R-parity violation due to the operator L_i L_j \bar{E_k} on the (V-A) structure of the muon decay. The precisely measured muon decay parameters can constrain a product of R-parity violating couplings: |λ_{232}λ_{131}| < 0.022 at the 90% CL, which is complementary to the previous limits obtained by the e-μuniversality in τdecay.
It is shown that in R-parity violating models of supersymmetry, the CP violation observed in the kaon system could arise purely from the R-parity violating scalar interactions (A-terms), with no CP violation in the CKM matrix. The direct CP violating parameter, epsilon', could be as large or larger than that expected in the Standard Model. CP violation in the B system however is expected to be negligible.
We consider the neutrino oscillations within the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. The Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data are used to set limits on the bilinear R-parity violating terms. These very stringent limits are out of reach of the other experiments at present and in the near future.
We perform a systematic reevaluation of the constraints on the flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) parameters in R-parity conserving and R-parity violating supersymmetric models. As a typical process, we study the constraints coming from the measurements on the B0-\bar{B0} system on the supersymmetric $δ^d_{13}$ parameters, as well as on the products of the lambda' type R-parity violating couplings. Present data allows us to put constraints on both the real and the imaginary parts of the relevant parameters.
In an R-parity-violating supersymmetric theory, we derive upper bounds on all the λ''_{ijk}λ_{i'j'k'}-type combinations from the consideration of proton stability, where λ''_{ijk} are baryon-number-violating couplings involving three baryonic fields and λ_{i'j'k'} are lepton-number-violating couplings involving three leptonic fields.
We update the bounds on $R$-parity violating supersymmetry originating from meson oscillations in the $B^0_{d/s}$ and $K^0$ systems. To this end, we explicitly calculate all corresponding contributions from $R$-parity violating operators at the one-loop level, thereby completing and correcting existing calculations. We apply our results to the derivation of bounds on $R$-parity violating couplings, based on up-to-date experimental measurements. In addition, we consider the possibility of cancellations among flavor-changing contributions of various origins, e.g. from multiple $R$-parity violati…
We present a reanalysis of nucleon decay in the context of the R-parity violating MSSM, updating bounds on R-parity violating parameters against recent experimental and lattice results. We pay particular attention to the derivation of these constraints and specifically to the hadronic matrix elements, which usually stand as the limiting factor in order to derive reliable bounds, except for these few channels that have been studied on the lattice.
The contribution of the R-parity violating trilinear couplings in the supersymmetric model to the fermion electric dipole moment is analyzed at the two-loop level. We show that in general, the Barr-Zee type contribution to the fermion electric dipole moment with the exchange of W and Z bosons is not small compared to the currently known photon exchange one with R-parity violating interactions. We will then give new upper bounds on the imaginary parts of R-parity violating couplings from the experimental data of the electric dipole moments of the electron and of the neutron. The effect due to b…
Motivated by the recent experimental data of the E787, E949 and E865 collaborations and by the difference between the standard model (SM) prediction and data, we consider in detail R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric contributions to K -> pi nu nubar. The theoretical cleaness of this decay constitutes a useful way to provide constraints, independent of long distance effects. Including the possiblity of interferences between one-loop R-parity conserving (RPC) supersymmetry and tree-level RPV supersymmetric contributions, our results allow to improve the limits on R-parity violating coupling…
The contribution of the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric Standard model (RPVMSSM) at the one-loop level to the 199Hg atomic electric dipole moment (EDM) through P, CP-odd electron-nucleon (e-N) interaction is calculated. We show that the current experimental data of the 199Hg EDM give tighter constraints on some of the imaginary parts of R-parity violating (RPV) coupling than those currently known. We add also the analysis of the P, CP-odd 4-quark interaction generated by R-parity violating interactions at the one-loop level, and discuss the possibility to constrain them in future exp…
Assuming the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gluino, we treat the decays gluino->quark-antiquark-neutrino and gluino->gluon-neutrino. Such couplings can be induced by the R parity violating quark-squark-lepton interaction which can also be responsible for neutrino masses and mixings. These R parity violating gluino decays have the same final state structure (jets plus missing energy) as previously considered decays into quark-antiquark-photino and gluon-gravitino but with significantly different gluino lifetimes.
We investigate the ability of single top quark production via qq'-> squark->tb and q \bar q'->slepton->t\bar b at the LHC and Tevatron to probe the strength of R-parity violating couplings in the minimal supersymmetric model. We found that given the existing bounds on R-parity violating couplings, single top quark production may be greatly enhanced over that predicted by the standard model, and that both colliders can either discover R-parity violating SUSY or set strong constraints on the relevant R-parity violating couplings. We further found that the LHC is much more powerful than the Tevat…
Yukawa-like R-parity violating (RPV) couplings are generated as effective operators with a typical strength of ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$ through loops involving the scalars, the gauginos and the soft supersymmetry breaking RPV interactions. Neutrino masses and other phenomenological implications of such a scenario are discussed.
The nontrivial structure of the neutrino mass matrix, suggested by the recent Super-Kamiokande results and data from other neutrino experiments, can be reproduced in R-parity-violating supersymmetric theories. This requires sets of products of R-parity-violating trilinear couplings to take appropriately chosen values. It is shown that the existing constraints on these couplings are satisfied by these choices.
We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from $B^\pm \to l^\pm ν$ decays. These modes of B-meson decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or more heavy generation indices which are comparable with or stronger than the present bounds. And we investigate the possible effects of R-parity violating interactions on $B_c \to l ν$ decays. These decay modes can be largely affected by R-parity violation.
We present a study of charged lepton mass matrix diagonalization in R-parity violating SUSY. The case in which the bilinear couplings $μ_i$ have large values is given special attention.
Bounds on R-parity violating couplings in the supersymmetric standard model are reviewed, and some new bounds arising from non-observation of certain rare B-decays (such as $B \rightarrow K^+K^-$) are presented. The focus is on baryon-number violating couplings, but it is also noted that many products of lepton- number violating and baryon-number violating couplings are not significantly constrained by proton decay bounds. The talk reviewed the work in a recent paper by Carlson, Roy and Sher (Phys. Letters, in press).
We report on a calculation of one-loop weak corrections to polarized quark-gluon scattering and the corresponding crossed channels. Such contributions are suppressed formally by one power of alpha_s relative to W- or Z-mediated quark-quark scattering, but would enable the spin asymmetry of the gluon distribution to contribute to parity-violating asymmetries that will soon be investigated in polarized proton-proton scattering experiments at RHIC. In certain kinematic regions, gluon contributions to parity-violating asymmetries can be as large as 10% of the tree-level W- and Z-exchanges in quark…
Parity violating left-right scattering asymmetries at future high energy e+e- and e-e- colliders are examined. The utility of two polarized beams for precision measurements is pointed out. Sensitivity to ``new'' short-distance physics is briefly discussed. Electroweak radiative corrections due to the running of sin^2(theta_W)(q^2) are exhibited.
We investigate the role of R-parity violating interaction in the non-leptonic decays of B mesons into two light mesons B --> PP. The decay amplitudes are calculated using the QCD improved factorization method. Using the combined data on B decays from BaBar, Belle and CLEO, we obtain strong constraints on the various products of R-parity violating couplings. Many of these new constraints are stronger than the existing bounds.
We study the rare decays $B^{+}_u\to π^{+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, $ρ^{+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ and $B^{0}_d \to \ell^{+} \ell^{-}(\ell=e,μ)$ in the R-parity violating supersymmetric standard model. From the latest upper limits of $\mathcal{B}(B^+_u\toπ^+\ell^+\ell^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^0_d\to\ell^+\ell^-)$, we have derived new upper bounds on the relevant R-parity violating couplings products, which are stronger than the existing ones. Using the constrained parameter space, we present the R-parity violating effects on the branching ratios and the forward-backward asymmetries of these decays. We find th…
We discuss a model for neutrino masses and mixings based on R parity violating Yukawa couplings. The model requires no right-handed neutrinos. It accommodates the SuperKamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos and successfully relates this data to the mass difference for solar neutrinos in the small-angle MSW solution. We obtain an unexpected testable pattern for the three neutrino flavors.
The recent measurements of the $B_s$ mass difference $ΔM_s$ by the CDF and DØ collaborations are roughly consistent with the Standard Model predictions, therefore, these measurements will afford an opportunity to constrain new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model. We consider the impact of the R-parity violating supersymmetry in the $B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s$ mixing, and use the latest experimental results of $ΔM_s$ to constrain the size of the R-parity violating tree level couplings in the $B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s$ mixing. Then, using the constrained R-parity violating parameter space from $ΔM_s$, …
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 t…
In this paper, we study the effects of the unparticles on the parity-violating asymmetry for the low energy electron-electron scattering, $e^-e^-\to e^-e^-$. Using the data from the E158 experiment at SLAC we extract the limits on the unparticle coupling $λ_{AV}$, and on the the energy scale $Λ$ at 95% C.L. for various values of the scaling dimension $d$.
We consider the proton decay involving a light gravitino or axino in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models to derive constraints on the $R$ parity and baryon number violating Yukawa couplings. Bounds on all nine coupling constants are obtained by considering the decay amplitudes at one-loop order.
Some aspects of bilinear R-Parity violation, the simplest extension of the MSSM which does not conserve R-Parity, are reviewed in comparison with the MSSM. We put special emphasis on the effect of quantum corrections.
We study R-parity violating contributions to the mixing parameter $y$ for $D^0 -\bar D^0$ and $B^0_{d,s} - \bar B^0_{d,s}$ systems. We first obtain general expressions for new physics contributions to $y$ from effective four fermion operators. We then use them to study R-parity contributions. We find that R-parity violating contributions to $D^0 - \bar D^0$ mixing, and $B_{d}^0 - \bar B_{d}^0$ to be small. There may be sizable contribution to $B_s^0 -\bar B_s^0$ mixing. We also obtain some interesting bounds on R-parity violating parameters using known Standard Model predictions and experiment…
In this talk we discuss the calculation of the QCD corrections to parity-violating 3-jet observables in e^+e^- collisions, keeping the full quark mass dependence.
We calculate the radiative decay amplitude for Majorana neutrinos in trilinear R-parity violating supersymmetric framework. Our results make no assumption regarding the masses and mixings of fermions and sfermions. The results obtained are exemplary for generic models with loop-generated neutrino masses. Comparison of this amplitude with the neutrino mass matrix shows that the two provide independent probes of CP-violating phases.
We compute one loop neutrino masses in the R-parity violating Minimal Supersymmetric Model, including the bilinear R-parity violating masses in the mass insertion approximation. To the order we calculate, our results are independent of the Higgs-lepton basis choice. We have a variety of perturbative parameters-gauge, yukawa and trilinear couplings, and R_p violating masses. Their relative magnitudes determine which diagrams are relevant for neutrino mass calculations. We find new loop diagrams which can be relevant and have frequently been neglected in the past. For the Grossman-Haber neutral …
We prove that {\em any} product of R-parity violating couplings $λ'$ (L-violating) and $λ''$ (B-violating) can be strongly restricted by proton decay data. For any pair $λ'$ and $λ''$ the decay exists at least at one loop level. For squark masses below 1 TeV we find the conservative bounds $|λ' \cdot λ''| < 10^{-9}$ in absence of squark flavor mixing, and $|λ' \cdot λ''| < 10^{-11}$ when this mixing is taken into account. We study the dependence of the bounds on the flavor basis in which R-parity breaking couplings are determined.
A decay of the gravitino dark matter is an attractive candidate to explain the current excesses of the PAMELA/ATIC cosmic-ray data. However, R-parity violations are required to be very tiny in low-energy scale. We suggest a R-parity violation in the right-handed neutrino sector. The violation is suppressed by a see-saw mechanism. Although a reheating temperature is constrained from above, the thermal leptogenesis is found to work successfully with a help of the R-parity violating right-handed neutrino.
Theoretical and phenomenological implications of R-parity violation in supersymmetric theories are discussed in the context of particle physics and cosmology. Fundamental aspects include the relation with continuous and discrete symmetries and the various allowed patterns of R-parity breaking. Recent developments on the generation of neutrino masses and mixings within different scenarios of R-parity violation are discussed. The possible contribution of R-parity-violating Yukawa couplings in processes involving virtual supersymmetric particles and the resulting constraints are reviewed. Finally…
QED radiative corrections have been calculated for leptonic and hadronic variables in parity-violating elastic ep scattering. For the first time, the calculation of the asymmetry in the elastic radiative tail is performed without the peaking-approximation assumption in hadronic variables configuration. A comparison with the PV-A4 data validates our approach. This method has been also used to evaluate the radiative corrections to the parity-violating asymmetry measured in the G0 experiment. The results obtained are here presented.
We discuss the implications of the recent measurement of the $B_s-\bar{B_s}$ oscillation frequency $ΔM_s$ on the parameter space of R-parity violating supersymmetry. For completeness, we also discuss the bounds coming from leptonic, semileptonic, and nonleptonic B decay modes, and point out some possibly interesting channels at LHC.
It was recently claimed that single stop production at the Tevatron, occurring via R-parity (and baryon number) violating couplings, could lead to observable signals. In this talk I present some results of a work in progress, showing that rare B decays and K0-K0bar mixing strongly constrain such a possibility.
We study $t \bar t$ production in R-parity violating supersymmetry. The annihilation channel $q \bar q \rightarrow t \bar t$ gets new contributions from $t$-channel exchange of squarks or sleptons. With the data from Tevatron on $t \bar t$ production, we find that the squark- or slepton-exchange processes constrain the $B$-violating $λ''$ couplings or the $L$-violating $λ'$ couplings, respectively. Our bounds are already comparable to the few existing constraints on third-generation $R$-parity violating couplings, and will improve when more precise measurements of the $t \bar t$ production cro…
In this paper we study the constraints on MSSM R-Parity violating decays when the Lightest Superpartner (LSP) is moderately long lived. In this scenario the LSP vertex displacement may be observed at the LHC. We compute limits on the RPV Yukawa couplings for which the vertex displacement signature maybe used. We then use ATLAS and CMS displaced vertex, meta-stable and prompt decay searches to rule out a region of sparticle masses.
