Dynamical R-Parity Violation

We present a new paradigm for supersymmetric theories with R-parity violation (RPV). At high scale, R-parity is conserved in the visible sector but spontaneously broken in the SUSY-breaking sector. The breaking is then dynamically mediated to the visible sector and is manifested via non-renormalizable operators at low energy. Consequently, RPV operators originate from the Kahler potential rather than the superpotential, and are naturally suppressed by the SUSY-breaking scale, explaining their small magnitudes. A new set of non-holomorphic RPV operators are identified and found to often dominate over the standard RPV ones. We study the relevant low-energy constraints arising from baryon-number violating processes, proton decay and flavor changing neutral currents, which may all be satisfied if a solution to the Standard Model flavor puzzle is incorporated. The chiral structure of the RPV operators imply new and distinct collider signatures, indicating the need to alter current techniques in searching for RPV at the LHC.
