Basis Independent Measures of R-parity Violation
arXiv:hep-ph/9609451 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(96)01398-6
Abstract
We construct basis-independent expressions that measure the magnitude of $R$-parity breaking due to possible superpotential terms in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, in the absence of soft supersymmetry-breaking terms and spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. We also discuss briefly their application to a consistent treatment of cosmological constraints on $R$-parity violation.
