Computation of Neutrino Masses in R-parity Violating Supersymmetry: SOFTSUSY3.2

arXiv:1109.3735 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2011.11.024

Abstract

The program SOFTSUSY can calculate tree-level neutrino masses in the R-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with real couplings. At tree-level, only one neutrino acquires a mass, in contradiction with neutrino oscillation data. Here, we describe an extension to the SOFTSUSY program which includes one-loop R-parity violating effects' contributions to neutrino masses and mixing. Including the one-loop effects refines the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking calculation, and may result in up to three massive, mixed neutrinos. This paper serves as a manual to the neutrino mass prediction mode of the program, detailing the approximations and conventions used.

Updated for SOFTSUSY3.3. Further updated versions of the manual will be available by replacements to the electronic arXiv
