R-Parity Violation and Supersymmetric Higgs Masses

We consider the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with neutrino Yukawa interactions and R-parity violation. We found that R-parity breaking term λνH_u H_d leads to an additional F-type contribution to the Higgs scalar potential, and thus to the masses of supersymmetric Higgs bosons. The most interesting consequence is the modification of the tree-level expression for the lightest neutral supersymmetric Higgs boson mass. It appears that due to this contribution the bound on the lightest Higgs mass may be shifted upwards, thus slightly opening the part of the model parameter space excluded by non-observation of the light Higgs boson at LEP in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
