Natural Conservation of R Parity in Supersymmetry

Abstract

Since baryon number B and lepton number L are no longer automatically conserved once the standard model is extended to include supersymmetry, the usually assumed conservation of R parity is an imposed condition. For a more satisfactory realization of supersymmetry, we propose here a new model which conserves R automatically. It is unifiable under SO(14) and has exotic fermions at the 100 GeV scale. One important result is the enhancement of the Higgs-boson decay rates into two gluons and into two photons by factors of 25 and 15 respectively.
