On a reinterpretation of the Higgs field in supersymmetry and a proposal for new quarks

In the framework of supersymmetry, when R-parity is violated the Higgs doublet superfield Hd can be interpreted as another doublet of leptons, since all of them have the same quantum numbers. Thus Higgs scalars are sleptons and Higgsinos are leptons. We argue that this interpretation can be extended...

description In the framework of supersymmetry, when R-parity is violated the Higgs doublet superfield Hd can be interpreted as another doublet of leptons, since all of them have the same quantum numbers. Thus Higgs scalars are sleptons and Higgsinos are leptons.
