Lepton flavor violation in supersymmetricB−Lextension of the standard model

Abstract

Supersymmetric B-L extension of the Standard Model (SM) is one of the best candidate for physics beyond the SM that accounts for TeV scale seesaw mechanism and provides an attractive solution for the Higgs naturalness problem. We analyze the charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) in this class of models. We show that due to the smallness of Dirac neutrino Yukawa coupling, the decay rates of l_i -> l_j gamma and l_i -> 3 l_j, generated by the renormalization group evolution of soft SUSY breaking terms from GUT to seesaw scale, are quite suppressed. Therefore, this model is free from the stringent LFV constraints usually imposed on the supersymmetric seesaw model. We also demonstrate that the right-sneutrino is a long-lived particle and can be pair produced at the LHC through the B-L gauge boson. Then, they decay into same-sign dilepton, with a total cross section of order O(1) pb. This signal is one of the striking signatures of supersymmetric B-L extension of the SM.
