Proton decay suppression in a supersymmetric SO(10) model
arXiv:1409.5233 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2015)130
Abstract
We propose a mechanism for sufficient suppression of dimension-5 operators for proton decay in a supersymmetric SO(10) model. This mechanism is analogue to the double seesaw mechanism in studying neutrino masses. Only an intermediate VEV instead of an intermediate scale is required so that gauge coupling unification is maintained. The VEV is generated by introducing an anomalous U(1) symmetry whose breaking is at higher scale. The proton decay amplitudes are suppressed by this VEV over the GUT scale. We use in breaking GUT symmetry. is included so that fermion sector is fully realistic. Assuming a minimal fine-tuning in the Higgs doublet sector, of order one is predicted.
