Abstract

Recently, a proposal [R. N. Mohapatra and S. Nandi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 181 (1997)] was made for a new class of gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking (GMSB) models where the standard model gauge group is embedded into the gauge group $SU {(2)}_{L} \times U {(1)}_{I_{3 R}} \times {U (1)}_{B - L}$ [or $SU {(2)}_{L} \times SU {(2)}_{R} \times U {(1)}_{B - L}]$ at the supersymmetry-breaking scale $Λ$ . Supersymmetry breaking is transmitted to the visible sector via the same fields that are responsible for gauge symmetry breaking rather than by vector-like quarks and leptons as in the conventional GMSB models. These models have a number of attractive properties such as exact $R$ -parity conservation, nonvanishing neutrino masses and a solution to the SUSY $CP$ (and strong $C P)$ problem. In this paper, we present the detailed sparticle spectroscopy and phenomenological implications of the various models of this class that embody the general spirit of our previous work but use a larger variety of messenger fields. A distinct characteristic of this class of models is that unlike the conventional GMSB ones, the lightest neutralino is always the NLSP leading to photonic events in the colliders.

B. Dobrescu, Phys. Lett. B 403, 285 (1997), has proposed a dynamical model for $(B - L)$ -mediated supersymmetry breaking.
One motivation for the inclusion of a color octet $Q_{8}$ as messenger field is that in the ${SU (2)}_{L} \times {SU (2)}_{R} \times U {(1)}_{B - L}$ version of the model it can lead to gauge coupling constant unification with a low- $W_{R}$ scale if in addition to the color-octet field the model contains two bidoublets φ(2,2,0), a pair of $Δ^{c}$ and ${\bar{Δ}}^{c}$ with quantum numbers (1,3,±2), and a $(B - L)$ -neutral SU(2) $_{L}$ triplet field ∑(3,1,0). The particle spectrum of the model is not left-right symmetric [although the gauge symmetry consists of both SU(2) $_{L, R}$ groups] due to broken $D$ parity at the grand unified theory (GUT) scale [see, for instance, D. Chang, R. N. Mohapatra, and M. K. Parida, Phys. Rev. Lett. 52, 1072 (1984) for $D$ -parity-broken models].
