R-parity Violating Couplings of The MSSM
The renormalizable R-parity violating couplings of the MSSM are
- violates B by 1 unit
The strongest constraint involving this coupling alone is from to neutron - antineutron oscillations.
- violates L by 1 unit
The strongest constraint involving this coupling alone is the violation universality of Fermi constant in quark and leptonic charged current decays.
- violates L by 1 unit
The strongest constraint involving this coupling alone is the violation universality of Fermi constant in leptonic charged current decays.
- violates L by 1 unit
The strongest constraint involving this coupling alone is that it leads to a large neutrino mass.
While the constraints on single couplings are reasonably strong, if multiple couplings are combined together, they lead to proton decay. Thus there are further maximal bounds on values of the couplings from maximal bounds on proton decay rate.

Famous quotes containing the words violating and/or couplings:
“Deacon King was tried for violating the Sabbath, and so hot was the debate that it was referred to the church council, which ultimately decided, after long and grave debate, that the deacon had committed a ‘work of necessity and mercy.’”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode; and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
