On the Origin of R-parity Violation in Supersymmetry

Understand

The fate of R-parity in supersymmetric theories is discussed in detail.

• We make a strong case for R-parity violation showing that the simplest theories based on the local B-L symmetry predict the spontaneous breaking of R-parity at the SUSY scale.
• The possible implications for the searches at the Large Hadron Collider are discussed.
