Title: Weighing Neutrinos at the LHC through Stop LSP Decays
Host: Ennio Salvioni
Room: 432
Abstract: In the minimal supersymmetric local B-L model, the B-L symmetry must be broken by the vacuum expectation value of the right-handed sneutrino. This spontaneous symmetry breaking triggers R-parity violation but in such a way that the proton remains safe. I will discuss some of the interesting consequences of this theory, especially as they relate to the neutrino sector and the phenomenology of third generation squark LSPs. The surprising connection between the decays of squark LSPs and the neutrino sector will be highlighted.
