Description

We propose a model that introduces a supersymmetric unparticle operator in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. We analyze the lowest dimension operator involving an unparticle. This operator behaves as a Standard Model gauge singlet and it introduces a new parameter into the Higgs potential which can provide an alternative way to relax the upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass. This operator also introduces several unparticle interactions which can induce a neutral Higgsino to decay into a spinor unparticle. It also induces violation of scale invariance around the electroweak scale. It is necessary for the scale of this violation to be larger than the lightest supersymmetric particle mass to maintain the latter as the usual weakly interacting massive particle dark matter candidate. An alternative is to have unparticle state as dark matter candidate. We also comment on some collider implications
