The Higgs as a Supersymmetric Partner, with a New Interpretation of Yukawa Couplings

Abstract

An unconventional version of supersymmetry leads to the following highly testable predictions: (1) The Higgs boson has an R-parity of -1, so it can only be produced as one member of a pair of superpartners. (2) The only superpartners are scalar bosons, so neutralinos etc. do not exist. (3) The most likely candidate for cold dark matter is therefore a sneutrino. (4) The Higgs and other bosonic superpartners have an unconventional equation of motion. These predictions are associated with new interpretations of Yukawa couplings, supersymmetry, gauge fields, and Lorentz invariance.Comment: 4 pages, proceedings of DPF2000 Meeting of APS Division of Particles and Fields (August, 2000, Ohio State University
