Left-Right SUSY and the Fate of R-Parity

Abstract

A fresh analysis of Left right symmetric supersymmetric models in the generic case where the scale of right handed symmetry breaking $M_R>>M_{SUSY}\sim M_W$ is presented. We conclude that the low energy effective theory for such models is essentially the MSSM with R parity (and therefore B,L symmetry) but the spectrum includes heavy conjugate neutrino supermultiplets that permit a seesaw mechanism and several characteristic charged supermultiplets over and above those of the MSSM.
