[HET Seminar] A Model of neutrino masses and the LHC

Description

Neutrino masses cannot be explained within the Standard Model. Many new physics models address this question by adding right-handed neutrinos to the SM. These right-handed neutrinos are not expected to be observed at the LHC due either to their large masses or small couplings to the SM particles. I will give a different approach, in which we account for the SM neutrino masses via a pesudo-Dirac bino in an R-symmetric SUSY model. I will also give a recast of recent LHC analyses, mainly jets+MET and leptoquark searches, for this model.
