We perform a detailed study of the various decay channels of the heavy charged and neutral gauge bosons ($W_R$ and $Z_R$ respectively) in a left-right supersymmetric (LRSUSY) framework. The decay branching ratios of the $W_R$ and $Z_R$ bosons depend significantly on the particle spectrum and composition of the SUSY states. We show several combinations of mass spectrum for the SUSY particles to facilitate the decay of these heavy gauge bosons into various combinations of final states. Finally, we choose two benchmark points and perform detailed collider simulations for these heavy gauge bosons in the context of the high energy and high luminosity run of the large hadron collider. We analyze two SUSY cascade decay channels -- mono-$W$ + $slashed{E}_T$ and mono-$Z$ + $slashed{E}_T$ along with the standard dilepton and dijet final states. Our results show that the existence of these heavy gauge bosons can be ascertained in the direct decay channels of dilepton and dijet whereas the other two channels will be required to establish the supersymmetric nature of this model.
In the recently proposed dark left-right gauge model of particle interactions, the left-handed fermion doublet $( u,e)_L$ is connected to its right-handed counterpart $(n,e)_R$ through a scalar bidoublet, but $ u_L$ couples to $n_R$ only through $phi_1^0$ which has no vacuum expectation value. The usual R parity, i.e. $R = (-)^{3B+L+2j}$, can be defined for this nonsupersymmetric model so that both $n$ and $Phi_1$ are odd together with $W_R^pm$. The lightest $n$ is thus a viable dark-matter candidate (scotino). Here we explore the phenomenology associated with the $SU(2)_R$ gauge group of this model, which allows it to appear at the TeV energy scale. The exciting possibility of $Z to 8$ charged leptons is discussed.
A simple extension of the minimal left-right symmetric supersymmetric grand unified theory model is constructed by adding two pairs of superfields. This naturally violates the partial Yukawa unification predicted by the minimal model. After including supergravity corrections, we find that this extended model naturally supports hilltop F-term hybrid inflation along its trivial inflationary path with only a very mild tuning of the initial conditions. With a convenient choice of signs of the terms in the Kahler potential, we can reconcile the inflationary scale with the supersymmetric grand unified theory scale. All the current data on the inflationary observables are readily reproduced. Inflation is followed by non-thermal leptogenesis via the decay of the right-handed neutrinos emerging from the decay of the inflaton and any possible washout of the lepton asymmetry is avoided thanks to the violation of partial Yukawa unification. The extra superfields also assist us in reducing the reheat temperature so as to satisfy the gravitino constraint. The observed baryon asymmetry of the universe is naturally reproduced consistently with the neutrino oscillation parameters.
We propose a dark matter (DM) scenario in an extension of a left-right symmetric model with a gauge-singlet scalar field. The gauge-singlet scalar can automatically become a DM candidate, provided that both P and CP symmetries are only broken spontaneously. Thus no extra discrete symmetries are needed to make the DM candidate stable. After constraining the model parameters from the observed relic DM density we make predictions for direct detection experiments. We show that for some parameter range, the predicted WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering cross section can reach the current experimental upper bound, which can be tested by the experiments in the near future.
We present a minimal left-right symmetric flavor model and analyze the predictions for the neutrino sector. In this scenario, the Yukawa sector is shaped by the dihedral $D_4$ symmetry which leads to correlations for the neutrino mixing parameters. We end up with four possible solutions within this model. We further analyzed the impact of the upcoming long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment DUNE. Due to its high sensitivity, DUNE will be able to rule out two of the solutions. Finally, the prediction for the neutrinoless double beta decay for the model has also been examined.
We present twin Higgs models based on the extension of the Standard Model to left-right symmetry that protect the weak scale against radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 TeV. In the ultra-violet the Higgs sector of these theories respects an approximate global symmetry, in addition to the discrete parity symmetry characteristic of left-right symmetric models. The Standard Model Higgs field emerges as the pseudo-Goldstone boson associated with the breaking of the global symmetry. The parity symmetry tightly constrains the form of radiative corrections to the Higgs potential, allowing natural electroweak breaking. The minimal model predicts a rich spectrum of exotic particles that will be accessible to upcoming experiments, and which are necessary for the cancellation of one-loop quadratic divergences. These include right-handed gauge bosons with masses not to exceed a few TeV and a pair of vector-like quarks with masses of order several hundred GeV.
