The Higgs potential and the mass spectrum of the N = 1 supersymmetric extension of a recently proposed one family model based on the local gauge group SU (3)C ⊗ SU (3)L ⊗ U (1)X , which is a subgroup of the electroweak-strong unification group E6, is analyzed. In this model the slepton multiplets play the role of the Higgs scalars and no Higgsinos are needed, with the consequence that the sneutrino, the selectron and six other sleptons play the role of the Goldstone bosons. We show how the µ problem is successfully addressed in the context of this model which also predicts the existence of a light CP-odd scalar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
