Neutrino masses and sneutrino mixing in R-parity violating supersymmetry

R-parity-violating supersymmetry with a conserved baryon number $$B$$ provides a framework for particle physics with lepton number ($$L$$) violating interactions. Two important probes of the $$L$$-violating physics are neutrino masses and sneutrino-antisneutrino mass-splittings. We evaluate these quantities in the context of the most general CP-conserving, R-parity-violating $$B$$-conserving extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In generic three-generation models, three sneutrino-antisneutrino mass splittings are generated at tree-level. In contrast, only one neutrino mass is generated at tree-level; the other two neutrinos acquire masses at one-loop. In many models, the dominant contribution to the radiative neutrino masses is induced by the non-zero sneutrino-antisneutrino mass splitting.
