Including R-parity violation in the numerical computation of the spectrum of the minimal supersymmetric standard model: SOFTSUSY

Published 2009-03-10, updated 2012-07-30Version 7

Current publicly available computer programs calculate the spectrum and couplings of the minimal supersymmetric standard model under the assumption of R-parity conservation. Here, we describe an extension to the SOFTSUSY program which includes R-parity violating effects. The user provides a theoretical boundary condition upon the high-scale supersymmetry breaking R-parity violating couplings. Successful radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, electroweak and CKM matrix data are used as weak-scale boundary conditions. The renormalisation group equations are solved numerically between the weak scale and a high energy scale using a nested iterative algorithm. This paper serves as a manual to the R-parity violating mode of the program, detailing the approximations and conventions used.

Comments: Updated to SOFTSUSY3.3.3. Program may be downloaded from http://projects.hepforge.org/softsusy/ and future manuals will be distributed with the code
