Sneutrino Higgs models explain lepton non-universality in CMS excesses

Understand

Recent searches for first-generation leptoquarks and heavy right-handed $W_R$ bosons have seen excesses in final states with electrons and jets.

• A bizarre property of these excesses is that they appear to violate lepton universality.
• With these results in mind, we study the phenomenology of supersymmetric models in which the Higgs arises as the sneutrino in an electron supermultiplet.
• Since the electron is singled out in this approach, one can naturally account for the lepton flavor structure of the excesses.
