Testing Spontaneous Parity Violation at the LHC

Understand

We construct a supersymmetric SU(2)_L X SU(2)_R X U(1)_B-L model in which a discrete symmetry (C-parity) implements strict left-right symmetry in the scalar (Higgs) sector.

• Although two electroweak bidoublets are introduced to accommodate the observed fermion masses and mixings, a natural missing partner mechanism insures that a single pair of MSSM Higgs doublets survives below the left-right symmetry breaking scale.
• If this scale happens to lie in the TeV range, several new particles potentially much lighter than the SU(2)_R charged gauge bosons W_R^+- will be accessible at the LHC.
