Upper Bound on theWRMass in AutomaticallyR-Conserving Supersymmetric Models

Abstract
We show that in automatically R-conserving minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) left-right symmetric models there is a theoretical upper limit on the mass of the right-handed WR boson given by MWRgMSUSYf, where MSUSY is the scale of SUSY breaking, g the weak gauge coupling, and f the Yukawa coupling responsible for generating the right-handed neutrino masses. If MWR violates the above bound, the ground state of the theory breaks electromagnetism. The only way to avoid this bound while keeping the theory automatically R conserving is to expand the theory to include very specific kinds of additional multiplets.
