R-Parity Violation and Peccei-Quinn Symmetry in GUTS

arXiv:hep-ph/9602389 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(96)00758-7

Abstract

We address the question whether it is possible in GUTs to obtain R-parity violation with a large hierarchy of strengths so that the proton is stable while phenomenologically interesting -violation is present. We consider versions of SU(5) with a built-in Peccei-Quinn symmetry spontaneously broken at an intermediate scale. The P-Q symmetry and the field content guarantee a large suppression of the effective -violating terms by a factor while the effective -violating terms stay large.
