Undetected Higgs decays and neutrino masses in gauge mediated, lepton number violating models

TL;DR

This paper explores supersymmetric models with lepton number violation that conceal Higgs decays and simultaneously account for neutrino masses, compatible with gauge-mediated SUSY breaking.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism where Higgs decays are hidden via neutralino channels in lepton number violating SUSY models, linking Higgs phenomenology with neutrino mass generation.

Findings

Higgs decays can be hidden in SUSY models with lepton number violation.

Neutrino masses can be explained within these models.

Compatibility with gauge mediated SUSY breaking is demonstrated.

Abstract

We discuss SUSY models in which renormalizable lepton number violating couplings hide the decay of the Higgs through h -> \chi_1^0 + \chi_1^0 followed by \chi_1^0 -> \tau + 2 jets or \chi_1^0 -> \nu_\tau + 2 jets and also explain neutrino masses. This mechanism can be made compatible with gauge mediated SUSY breaking.
