$\nu$-GMSB with Type III Seesaw and Phenomenology

TL;DR

This paper explores a supersymmetric SU(5) model extended with type III seesaw mechanism where new 24-dimensional fields serve as messengers for SUSY breaking, predicting observable phenomena like a gravitino dark matter and detectable stau at LHC.

Contribution

It introduces a novel scenario where 24-dimensional fields in a SUSY GUT act as messengers, linking neutrino mass generation with SUSY breaking transmission and phenomenology.

Findings

Seesaw scale constrained to 10^{12}-10^{13} GeV.

Predicts a 1-10 MeV gravitino as dark matter.

Detectable stau NLSP at LHC and testable mu to e gamma decay.

Abstract

We show that when the supersymmetric SU(5) model is extended to explain small neutrino masses by the type III seesaw mechanism, the new {\bf 24}-dimensional fields needed for the purpose can act as messengers for transmitting SUSY breaking from a hidden sector to the visible sector. For the three {\bf 24} case, the constraints of grand unification and suppressed lepton flavor violation restrict the seesaw scale in this case to be in the narrow range of $10^{12}-10^{13}$ GeV. The model predicts (i) a stable LSP gravitino with mass in the range of 1-10 MeV which can be a cold dark matter of the universe; (ii) a stau NLSP which is detectable at LHC; (iii) a lower bound on the branching ratio $BR(\mu \to e \gamma)$ larger than $10^{-14}$ testable by the ongoing MEG experiment as well as characteristic particle spectrum different from other SUSY breaking scenarios. We also discuss the case with two {\bf 24} fields, which is the minimal case that can explain neutrino oscillation data.
