Abstract
We write down the mass matrices and couplings needed for Minimal Supersym-
metric Standard Model (MSSM) calculations. These include the mass matrices for
all the particles in the model, the charged and neutral current couplings of the spin12 particles with the gauge bosons, and the couplings of the charged and neutral
scalars with the spin 12 particles. To fix our notation, we have also included the
couplings of the gauge bosons with themselves, although these are the same as in
the SM.

1 Introduction and Motivation
In recent years it has been established [1] with great precision (in some cases better than
0.1%) that the interactions of the gauge bosons with the fermions are described by the
Standard Model (SM) [2]. However other sectors of the SM have been tested to a much
lesser degree. In fact only now we are beginning to probe the selfinteractions of the
gauge bosons through their pair production at the Tevatron [3] and LEP [4] and the
Higgs sector, responsible for the symmetry breaking has not yet been tested.
Despite all its successes, the SM still has many unanswered questions. Among the various
candidates to Physics Beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetric theories play a special
role. Although there is not yet direct experimental evidence for supersymmetry (SUSY),
there are many theoretical arguments indicating that SUSY might be of relevance for
physics below the 1 TeV scale.
The most commonly invoked theoretical arguments for SUSY are:
i. Interrelates matter fields (leptons and quarks) with force fields (gauge and/or Higgs
bosons).
ii. As local SUSY implies gravity (supergravity)it could provide a way to unify gravity
with the other interactions.
iii. As SUSY and supergravity have fewer divergences than conventional filed theories,
the hope is that it could provide a consistent (finite) quantum gravity theory.
iv. SUSY can help to understand the mass problem, in particular solve the naturalness
problem ( and in some models even the hierarchy problem) if SUSY particles have
masses O(1TeV).As it is the last argument that makes SUSY particularly attractive for the experiments
being done or proposed for the next decade, let us explain the idea in more detail. As
the SM is not asymptotically free, at some energy scale , the interactions must become
strong indicating the existence of new physics. Candidates for this scale are, for instance,
MX O(1016 GeV) in GUTs or more fundamentally the Planck scaleMP O(1019GeV).This alone does not indicate that the new physics should be related to SUSY, but the so
called mass problem does. The only consistent way to give masses to the gauge bosons and
fermions is through the Higgs mechanism involving at least one spin zero Higgs boson.
Although the Higgs boson mass is not fixed by the theory, a value much bigger than
< H0 > G1/2F 250 GeV would imply that the Higgs sector would be strongly coupledmaking it difficult to understand why we are seeing an apparently successful perturbation
theory at low energies. Now the one loop radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass
would give
m2H = O( 4
)2 (1)
1
-
which would be too large if is identified with GUT or P lanck. SUSY cures this problem
in the following way. If SUSY were exact, radiative corrections to the scalar masses
squared would be absent because the contribution of fermion loops exactly cancels against
the boson loops. Therefore if SUSY is broken, as it must, we should have
m2H = O( 4
)|m2B m2F | (2)
We conclude that SUSY provides a solution for the the naturalness problem if the masses
of the superpartners are below O(1 TeV). This is the main reason behind all the phe-nomenological interest in SUSY.
In the following we will give a brief review of the main aspects of the SUSY extension of
the SM, the socalled Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Almost all the
material is covered in many excellent reviews that exist in the literature [5, 6].
2 SUSY Algebra, Representations and Particle Con-
tent
2.1 SUSY Algebra
The SUSY generators obey the following algebra
{Q, Q} = 0 (3)
{Q, Q
}= 0 (4)
{Q, Q
}= 2 () P (5)
where
(1, i) ; (1 i) (6)and , , , = 1, 2 (Weyl 2component spinor notation). The commutation relations
with the generators of the Poincare group are
[P , Q] = 0
[M , Q] = i () Q
From these relations one can easily derive that the two invariants of the Poincare group,
P 2 = PP
W 2 = WW
(7)
2
-
where W is the PauliLubanski vector operator
W = i2M
P (8)
are no longer invariants of the Super Poincare group. In fact
[Q, P2] = 0
[Q,W2] 6= 0 (9)
showing that the irreducible multiplets will have particles of the same mass but different
spin.
2.2 Simple Results from the Algebra
From the supersymmetric algebra one can derive two important results:
A. Number of Bosons = Number of Fermions
We have
Q|B >= |F > ; (1)NF |B >= |B >Q|F >= |B > ; (1)NF |F >= |F > (10)
where (1)NF is the fermion number of a given state. Then we obtain
Q(1)NF = (1)NFQ (11)
Using this relation we can show that
Tr[(1)NF {Q, Q}] = Tr [(1)NFQQ + (1)NFQQ]
= Tr[Q(1)NFQ +Q(1)NFQ]
= 0
But using Eq. 5 we also have
Tr[(1)NF {Q, Q}] = Tr [(1)NF 2P] (12)
This in turn implies
Tr(1)NF = #Bosons #Fermions = 0
showing that in a given representation the number of degrees of freedom of the
bosons equals those of the fermions.

B. 0|H|0 0From the algebra we get{
Q1, Q1}+{Q2, Q2
}= 2Tr ()P
= 4H (13)
Then
H =1
4
(Q1Q1 +Q2Q2 +Q1Q1 +Q2Q2
)(14)
and
0|H|0 = (||Q1 |0 ||2 + ||Q1 |0 ||2 + ||Q1 |0 ||2 + ||Q2 |0 ||2) 0 (15)
showing that the energy of the vacuum state is always positive definite.
2.3 SUSY Representations
We consider separately the massive and the massless case.
A. Massive case
In the rest frame {Q, Q
}= 2m (16)
This algebra is similar to the algebra of the spin 1/2 creation and annihilation
operators. Choose | such that
Q1 | = Q2 | = 0 (17)
Then we have 4 states
| ; Q1 | ; Q2 | ; Q1Q2 | (18)
If J3 | = j3 | we show in Table 1 the values of J3 for the 4 states. We notice
State J3 Eigenvalue
| j3Q1 | j3 + 12Q2 | j3 12
Q1Q2 | j3
Table 1: Massive states
that there two bosons and two fermions and that the states are separated by one
half unit of spin.

-
B. Massless case
If m = 0 then we can choose P = (E, 0, 0, E). In this frame{Q, Q
}= M (19)
where the matrix M takes the form
M =
(0 0
0 4E
)(20)
Then {Q2, Q2
}= 4E (21)
all others vanish. We have then just two states
| ; Q2 | (22)
If J3 | = | we have the states shown in Table 2,
State J3 Eigenvalue
| Q2 | 12
Table 2: Massless states
3 How to Build a SUSY Model
To construct supersymmetric Lagrangians one normally uses superfield methods (see for
instance [5, 6]). Here we do not go into the details of that construction. We will take
a more pragmatic view and give the results in the form of a recipe. To simplify matters
even further we just consider one gauge group G. Then the gauge bosons W a are in the
adjoint representation of G and are described by the massless gauge supermultiplet
V a (a,W a ) (23)
where a are the superpartners of the gauge bosons, the socalled gauginos. We also
consider only one matter chiral superfield
i (Ai, i) ; (i = 1, . . . , N) (24)
belonging to some N dimensional representation of G. We will give the rules for the
different parts of the Lagrangian for these superfields. The generalization to the case
where we have more complicated gauge groups and more matter supermultiplets, like in
the MSSM, is straightforward.

3.1 Kinetic Terms
Like in any gauge theory we have
Lkin = 14F aF a +i
2aD
a + (DA)DA+ iDPL (25)
where the field strength F a is given by
F a = Wa W a gfabcW bW c (26)
and fabc are the structure constants of the gauge group G. The covariant derivative is
D = + igWaT
a (27)
In Eq. 25 one should note that is left handed and that is a Majorana spinor.
3.2 Self Interactions of the Gauge Multiplet
For a non Abelian gauge group G we have the usual selfinteractions (cubic and quartic)
of the gauge bosons with themselves. These are well known and we do write them here
again. But we have a new interaction of the gauge bosons with the gauginos. In two
component spinor notation it reads [5, 6]
LW = igfabc abW c + h.c. (28)
where fabc are the structure constants of the gauge group G and the matrices were
introduced in Eq. 6.
3.3 Interactions of the Gauge and Matter Multiplets
In the usual non Abelian gauge theories we have the interactions of the gauge bosons
with the fermions and scalars of the theory. In the supersymmetric case we also have
interactions of the gauginos with the fermions and scalars of the chiral matter multiplet.
The general form, in two component spinor notation, is [5, 6],
LW = gT aijW a(i
j + iAi Aj
)+ g2
(T aT b
)ijW aW
bAiAj
+ig2T aij
(ajA
i
aiAj
)(29)
where the new interactions of the gauginos with the fermions and scalars are given in the
last term.
6
-
3.4 Self Interactions of the Matter Multiplet
These correspond in non supersymmetric gauge theories both to the Yukawa interactions
and to the scalar potential. In supersymmetric gauge theories we have less freedom to
construct these terms. The first step is to construct the superpotential W . This must be
a gauge invariant polynomial function of the scalar components of the chiral multiplet i,
that is Ai. It does not depend on Ai . In order to have renormalizable theories the degree
of the polynomial must be at most three. This is in contrast with non supersymmetric
gauge theories where we can construct the scalar potential with a polynomial up to the
fourth degree.
Once we have the superpotential W , then the theory is defined and the Yukawa interac-
tions are
LY ukawa = 12[
2W
AiAjij +
(2W
AiAj
)ij
](30)
and the scalar potential is
Vscalar =12DaDa + FiF
i (31)
where
Fi =W
Ai
Da = g AiTaijAj (32)
We see easily from these equations that, if the polynomial degree of W were higher than
three, then the scalar potential would be a polynomial of degree higher than four and
hence non renormalizable.
3.5 Supersymmetry Breaking Lagrangian
As we have not discovered superpartners of the known particles with the same mass, we
conclude that SUSY has to be broken. How this done is the least understood sector of
the theory. In fact, as we shall see, the majority of the unknown parameters come from
this sector. As we do not want to spoil the good features of SUSY, the form of these
SUSY breaking terms has to obey some restrictions. It has been shown that the added
terms can only be mass terms, or have the same form of the superpotential, with arbitrary
coefficients. These are called soft terms. Therefore, for the model that we are considering,
the general form would be1
LSB = m21Re(A2) +m22 Im(A2)m3(aa +
aa)+m4 (A
3 + h.c.) (33)
1 We do not consider a term linear in A because we are assuming that , and hence A, are not gauge
singlets.
7
-
where A2 and A3 are gauge invariant combinations of the scalar fields. From its form, we
see that it only affects the scalar potential and the masses of the gauginos. The parameters
mi have the dimension of a mass and are in general arbitrary.
3.6 RParity
In many models there is a multiplicatively conserved quantum number the called Rparity.
It is defined as
R = (1)2J+3B+L (34)With this definition it has the value +1 for the known particles and 1 for their su-perpartners. The MSSM it is a model where Rparity is conserved. The conservation
of Rparity has three important consequences: i) SUSY particles are pair produced, ii)
SUSY particles decay into SUSY particles and iii) The lightest SUSY particle is stable
(LSP).
4 The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
4.1 The Gauge Group and Particle Content
We want to describe the supersymmetric version of the SM. Therefore the gauge group is
considered to be that of the SM, that is
G = SUc(3) SUL(2) UY (1) (35)
We will now describe the minimal particle content.
Gauge FieldsWe want to have gauge fields for the gauge group G = SUc(3) SUL(2) UY (1).Therefore we will need three vector superfields (or vector supermultiplets) Vi with
the following components:
V1 (,W 1 ) UY (1)V2 (a,W a2 ) SUL(2) , a = 1, 2, 3V3 (gb,W b3 ) SUc(3) , b = 1, . . . , 8
(36)
where W i are the gauge fields and , and g are the UY (1) and SUL(2) gauginos
and the gluino, respectively.
LeptonsThe leptons are described by chiral supermultiplets. As each chiral multiplet only
describes one helicity state, we will need two chiral multiplets for each charged

lepton2. The multiplets are given in Table 3, where the UY (1) hypercharge is defined
Supermultiplet SUc(3) SUL(2) UY (1)Quantum Numbers
Li (L, L)i (1, 2,12)Ri (R, cL)i (1, 1, 1)
Table 3: Lepton Supermultiplets
through Q = T3+Y . Notice that each helicity state corresponds to a complex scalar
and that Li is a doublet of SUL(2), that is
Li =
(Li
Li
); Li =
(Li
Li
)(37)
QuarksThe quark supermultiplets are given in Table 4. The supermultiplet Qi is also a
doublet of SUL(2), that is

Qi =
(uLi
dLi
); Qi =
(uLi
dLi
)(38)
Higgs BosonsFinally the Higgs sector. In the MSSM we need at least two Higgs doublets. This is
in contrast with the SM where only one Higgs doublet is enough to give masses to
all the particles. The reason can be explained in two ways. Either the need to cancel
the anomalies, or the fact that, due to the analyticity of the superpotential, we have
to have two Higgs doublets of opposite hypercharges to give masses to the up and
down type of quarks. The two supermultiplets, with their quantum numbers, are
given in Table 5.
2We will assume that the neutrinos do not have mass.

4.2 Field Strengths and Covariant Derivatives
For the derivation of the Feynman rules for the interactions it is important to fix the
notation for the the field strenghts and covariant derivatives. Here we just write the
SUL(2) UY (1) part. We have
LGauge = 14 F aF a BB (39)
where
F a = Wa W a gabcW bW c (40)
B = B B (41)
where 123 = 1. The covariant derivative reads
D = + i ga
2W a + i g
Y2B (42)
where our normalization for the hypercharge is
Q = T3 + Y (43)
After symmetry breaking (see below) we have
W 3 = sin WA + cos WZ
B3 = cos WA sin WZ (44)
with
e = g sin W = g cos W ; ;
g
g= tan W (45)

where i, j = 1, 2, 3 are generation indices, a, b = 1, 2 are SU(2) indices, and is a com-
pletely antisymmetric 2 2 matrix, with 12 = 1. The coupling matrices hU , hD and hEwill give rise to the usual Yukawa interactions needed to give masses to the leptons and
quarks. If it were not for the need to break SUSY, the number of parameters involved
would be less than in the SM. This can be seen in Table 6.

4.4 Symmetry Breaking
The electroweak symmetry is broken when the two Higgs doublets H1 and H2 acquire
VEVs
H1 =
( 12[01 + v1 + i
01]
H1
), H2 =
(H+2
12[02 + v2 + i
02]
)(49)
with m2W =14g2v2 and v2 v21 + v22 = (246 GeV)2. The full scalar potential at tree level
is
Vtotal =i
Wzi2 + VD + Vsoft (50)
The scalar potential contains linear terms
Vlinear = t01
01 + t

where
t1 = (m2H1
+ 2)v1 Bv2 + 18(g2 + g2)v1(v21 v22) ,t2 = (m
2H2 +
2)v2 Bv1 18(g2 + g2)v2(v21 v22) (52)
One can determine in the tree-level approximation the minimum of the scalar potential
by imposing the condition of vanishing tadpoles in Eq. 52. Oneloop corrections change
these equations to
ti = t0i ti + Ti(Q) (53)
where ti, with i = 1, 2, are the renormalized tadpoles, t0i are the tree level tadpoles
given in Eq. 52, ti are the tadpole counter-terms, and Ti(Q) are the sum of all oneloop
contributions to the corresponding onepoint functions with zero external momentum.
The contribution from quarks and squarks to these tadpoles in our model can be found
in ref. [8]. In an on shell scheme we identify the tree level tadpoles with the renormalized
ones. Therefore, to find the correct minima we use Eq. 52 unchanged, where now all the
parameters are understood to be renormalized quantities. Eqs. (52) can be solved for B
and up to a sign. We have
2 = 12m2Z +
m2H2 sin2 m2H1 cos2 cos 2
B = 12sin 2
(m2H1 +m
2H2
+ 22)
(54)
It can be shown that necessary conditions for the existence of a stable minimum are
(B)2 > (m2H1 + 2)(m2H2 +
2)
m2H1 +m2H2
+ 22 > |B| (55)
Notice that Eq. 54 only makes sense if 2 > 0 and, as we shall see in Section 5.3, also
B > 0 because is related with the mass squared, m2A, of the physical CPodd state.
4.5 The Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
We have seen in the previous section that the parameters of the MSSM can be consid-
ered arbitrary at the weak scale. This is completely consistent. However the number of
independent parameters in Table 6 can be reduced if we impose some further constraints.
That is usually done by embedding the MSSM in a grand unified scenario. Different
schemes are possible but in all of them some kind of unification is imposed at the GUT
scale. Then we run the Renormalization Group (RG) equations down to the weak scale
to get the values of the parameters at that scale. This is sometimes called the constrained
MSSM model.

Among the possible scenarios, the most popular is the MSSM coupled to N = 1 Super-
gravity (SUGRA). Here at MGUT one usually takes the conditions:
At = Ab = A A ,B = A 1 ,m2H1 = m
2H2
= M2L =M2R = m
20 ,M
2Q =M
2U = M
2D = m
20 ,
M3 = M2 =M1 =M1/2 (56)
The counting of free parameters3 is done in Table 7
Parameters Conditions Free Parameters
ht, hb, h , v1, v2 mW , mt, mb, m tan
A, m0, M1/2, ti = 0, i = 1, 2 2 Extra free parameters
Total = 9 Total = 6 Total = 3
Table 7: Counting of free parameters in the MSSM coupled to N=1 SUGRA
where we introduced the usual notation
tan =v2v1
(57)
It is remarkable that with so few parameters we can get the correct values for the param-
eters, in particular m2H2 < 0. For this to happen the top Yukawa coupling has to be large
which we know to be true.
5 Mass Matrices in the MSSM
5.1 The Chargino Mass Matrices
The charged gauginos mix with the charged higgsinos giving the socalled charginos. In
a basis where +T = (i+, H+2 ) and T = (i, H1 ), the chargino mass terms in theLagrangian are
Lm = 12(+T , T )
(000 MMMTCMMMC 000
)(+
)+ h.c. (58)
where the chargino mass matrix is given by
MMMC =
M2 12gv212gv1
(59)and M2 is the SU(2) gaugino soft mass. It is sometimes more useful to write this mass
matrix in terms of the physical masses, that is
MMMC =
M2 2mW sin 2mW cos
(60)3For one family and without counting the gauge couplings.
13
-
The chargino mass matrix is diagonalized by two rotation matrices UUU and VVV defined by
Fi = UUU ij j ; F
+i = VVV ij
+j (61)
Then
UUU MCMCMCVVV1 =MdiagCM
diagCMdiagC (62)
where MdiagCMdiagCMdiagC is the diagonal chargino mass matrix. To determine UUU and VVV we note that(
MdiagCMdiagCMdiagC
)2= VVVM CM
CMCMCMCMCVVV
1 = UUUMCMCMCMCMCMC(U
UU)1 (63)
implying that VVV diagonalizesM CMCMCMCMCMC and U
UU diagonalizesMCMCMCMCMCMC . In the previous expres-
sions the Fi are two component spinors. We construct the four component Dirac spinors
out of the two component spinors with the conventions4,
i =
(Fi
F+i
)(64)
5.2 The Neutralino Mass Matrices
In the basis 0T = (i,i3, H11 , H22 ) the neutral fermions mass terms in the Lagrangianare given by
Lm = 12(0)TMMMN
0 + h.c. (65)
where the neutralino mass matrix is
MMMN =
M1 0 12gv1 12gv20 M2
12gv1 12gv2
12gv1 12gv1 0
12gv2 12gv2 0
(66)and M1 is the U(1) gaugino soft mass. The neutralino mass matrix can be written in
terms of the physical masses
MMMN =
M1 0 mZ sin W cos mZ sin W sin 0 M2 mZ cos W cos mZ cos W sin
mZ sin W cos mZ cos W cos 0 mZ sin W sin mZ cos W sin 0
(67)
This neutralino mass matrix is diagonalized by a 4 4 rotation matrix NNN such that
NNN MMMNNNN1 = diag(mF 0
1, mF 0
2, mF 0
3, mF 0

the antiparticle.

and
F 0k = NNNkj 0j (69)
The four component Majorana neutral fermions are obtained from the two component
via the relation
0i =
(F 0i
F 0i
)(70)
5.3 Neutral Higgs Mass Matrices
The quadratic scalar potential includes
Vquadratic =12[01,
02] MMM
2P 0
[0102
]+ 1
2[01 ,
02] MMM
2S0
[0102
]+ (71)
where the CP-odd neutral scalar mass matrix is
MMM 2P 0 =
B tan + t1v1 BB B cot + t2
v2
(72)This matrix also has a vanishing determinant after the tadpoles are set to zero, and the
zero eigenvalue corresponds to the mass of the neutral Goldstone boson. The mass of the
CP-odd state, usually called A, is
m2A =2B
sin 2(73)
The relation between the lagrangian states and the mass eigenstates is, as can be easily
verified, [G0
A0
]=
[ cos sin sin cos
][0102
](74)
that can be written in matrix form as
P 0 = RPRPRPP 0 (75)
where, P 0T = (G0, A0), P 0T = (01, 02) and the rotation matrix is
RPRPRP =
[ cos sin sin cos
](76)
for future reference we note that
01 = RPRPRP11G
0 +RPRPRP21A
0
02 = RPRPRP12G
0 +RPRPRP22A
0 (77)

The neutral CP-even scalar sector mass matrix in Eq. 71 is given by
MMM 2S0 =
B tan +m2Z cos2 + t1v1 B m2Z sin cos Bm2Z sin cos B cot +m2Z sin2 + t2v2
(78)As before we define the rotation matrix as
S0 = RSRSRSS 0 (79)
where S0T = (h0, H0), S 0T = (01, 02). For future reference we note that
01 = RSRSRS11h
0 +RSRSRS21H
0
02 = RSRSRS12h
0 +RSRSRS22H
0 (80)
For completeness we note that this (orthogonal) matrix is normally parameterized by an
angle in the following way
RSRSRS =
[ sin coscos sin
]. (81)
5.4 Charged Higgs Mass Matrices
The mass matrix of the charged Higgs bosons follows from the quadratic terms in the
scalar potential
Vquadratic = [H1 , H
2 , ] M
2HM2H
M2H
[H+1H+2
](82)
where the charged Higgs mass matrix is
MMM2H =
B tan +m2W sin2 + t1v1 B+m2W sin cos B+m2W sin cos B cot +m
2W cos
2 + t2v2
(83)The relation between the lagrangian states and the mass eigenstates is, again as in Eq. (74)[
G
H
]=
[ cos sin sin cos
][H1H2
](84)
that can be written in matrix form as
S = RS
RS
RS
S (85)
where, ST = (G, H), S T = (H1 , H2 ) and the rotation matrix is
RS

5.5 Lepton Mass Matrices
In the superpotential in Eq. 47 the Yukawa couplings are matrices in generation space.
For the case of the leptons it is possible to start with the matrix hE already diagonalized.
However, for some applications, could be useful to have a general matrix. Here we consider
an arbitrary matrix. In 2component spinor
notation the relevant mass terms in the Lagrangian are
LM = v12(hE)ij
Li
cLj
v12(hE)ij
Li
cLj (88)
where are the interaction eigenstates. The 4component spinors are
=
LcL
(89)and therefore we have
LM = MEMEMEPR MEMEMEPL
= LMEMEMER RMEMEMEL (90)
where
(MEMEME)ij =v12(hE)ij (91)
To diagonalize the mass matrix MEMEME we need different rotations for the left handed and
right handed components. We introduce 5
R = RRRRRR
R ; L = R
LRLRL
L (92)
Then
RLRLRLMEMEMER
RRRRR =MdiagEM
diagEMdiagE or R
LRLRLMdiagEM
diagEMdiagE R
RRRRR =MEMEME (93)
where MdiagEMdiagEMdiagE is a diagonal matrix. The rotation matrices are obtained by noticing that
MEMEMEMEMEME = RLR
LRL (
MdiagEMdiagEMdiagE
)2RLRLRL and MEMEME
MEMEME = RRRRRR (
MdiagEMdiagEMdiagE
)2RRRRRR (94)
that tell us that RLRLRL diagonalizes MEMEMEMEMEME
and RRRRRR diagonalizes MEMEME
MEMEME . For future refer-
ence we write the relations between the mass and the interaction eigenstates. We have
Ri =(RRRRRR
)jiRj ; Ri = Rj
(RRRRRR
)ji
Li =(RLRLRL
)jiLj ; Li = Lj
(RLRLRL
)ji
(95)
5I changed here the convention in comparison with previous versions. Now the convention is uniform
for all fields and it is consistent with the convention used in SPheno [9].

5.6 Quark Mass Matrices
In 2component spinor notation the relevant terms in the Lagrangian are
LM = v12(hD)ij d
Li d
cLj
v22(hU)ij u
Li u
cLj + h.c. (96)
where the primed states are again the interaction eigenstates. In 4component spinor
notation with the definitions
d =
dLdcL
; u =uLucL
(97)we get
LM = dLMDMDMDdR uLMUMUMUuR + h.c. (98)where
(MDMDMD)ij =v12(hD)ij ; (MUMUMU )ij =
v22(hU)ij (99)
To obtain the eigenstates of the mass we rotate the quark fields through
dR = RdRRdRRdR d
R ; dL = R
dLRdLRdL d
L ; uR = R
uRRuRRuR u
R ; uL = R
uLRuLRuL u
L (100)
For future reference we write the relations between the mass and the interaction eigen-
states. We have
qRi = (RqRRqRRqR)
ji qRj ; q
Ri = qRj (R
qRRqRRqR)ji
q = (d, u)
qLi = (RqLRqLRqL)ji qLj ; q
Li = qLj (R
qLRqLRqL)ji (101)
Then
RdLRdLRdLMDMDMDR
dRRdRRdR =MdiagDM
diagDMdiagD and R
uLRuLRuLMUMUMUR
uRRuRRuR =MdiagUM
diagUMdiagU (102)
where MdiagD(U)MdiagD(U)
MdiagD(U) are a diagonal matrices. These are diagonalized by noticing that
RdLRdLRdLMDMDMDMDMDMD
RdLRdLRdL=(MdiagDM
diagDMdiagD
)2; RdRR
dRRdRMDMDMD
MDMDMDRdRRdRRdR=(MdiagDM

(MdiagUM
diagUMdiagU
)2; RuRR
uRRuRMUMUMU
MUMUMU RuRRuRRuR =
(MdiagUM
diagUMdiagU
)2(103)
Before we close this section let us write down the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM)
mixing matrix with our conventions. The couplings of the W with the quarks are
LCC = g2W d
Li
uLi g2W+ u
Li
dLi (104)
Then in terms of the mass eigenstates the charged current Lagrangian reads
LCC = g2VVV CKMij
W dLj
uLi g2VVV CKMij W
+ uLi
dLj (105)
where the CKM matrix VVV CKM is defined through
VVV CKM = RuLRuLRuLR

6.1 Gauge Self-Interactions
The gauge sector of the MSSM is exactly the same as in the SM. We present it here both
for completeness and to fix our notation.
6.1.1 V V V
From Eq. 39 we get

Now using
W 3 = sin WA + cos WZ

6.2 Charged Current Couplings
Using two component spinors and following the notation of ref. [5] the relevant part of
the Lagrangian can be written as

To obtain the couplings in four component notation we first write Eq. 132 in terms of the
mass eigenstates in two component notation, Fi and F0i . In order to do that we recall
that for the neutralinos
i = NNNi1F 0i i = NNN i1F 0i i3 = NNNi2F 0i i3 = NNN i2F 0iH01 = N
NNi3F 0i H01 = NNN i3F
0i
H02 = NNNi4F 0i H
02 = NNN i4F

while for the charginos
i = UUUj1Fj i = UUU j1FjH1 = U

6Notice that as the neutrinos are massless we can rotate them by the same matrix as the leptons.
Then the charged current for neutrinos and leptons will remain diagonal.

6.4 3-point gauge boson couplings to scalars
In this section we give the 3-point couplings of gauge bosons with the scalars.
7We can see that the neutral current interaction of the leptons and quarks is diagonal in generation
space after we perform the rotation into the mass eigenstates.

6.6 Scalar couplings to fermions
6.6.1 Charged scalars couplings to fermions
Using two component spinors and following the notation of ref. [5] the relevant part of
the Lagrangian can be written as
L = Lgauge + LY ukawa (157)
27
-
where the gauge part is determined by the gauge group and quantum numbers of the
matter multiplets and is given by
Lgauge = H+1[g2(i3) H1 +
g2(i) H1 g (i) H01
]+ H+2
[ g

]+ h.c. (158)
The Yukawa part is derived from the superpotential W by use of Eq. 30. In order to use
this equation it is helpful to write down explicitly the superpotential. We have
W = (hE)ij L1i RjH21 (hD)ij Q1i DjH21 (hU)ij Q2i UjH12+ (hE)ij L
2i RjH
11 + (hD)ij Q
2i DjH
11 + (hU)ij Q
1i UjH
22 (159)
Then in two component spinor notation the Yukawa part of the couplings of charged
scalar to fermions is
LY ukawa = (hE)ij LicLjH01 (hE)ij RjLiH01 + (hE)ij Rj LiH1 + (hE)ij H1 LicLj (hD)ij dLidcLjH01 (hD)ij dRjdLiH01 + (hD)ij dRjuLiH1 + (hD)ij H1 uLidcLj (hU)ij uLiucLjH02 (hU )ij uRjuLiH02 + (hU)ij uRjdLiH+2 + (hU)ij H+2 dLiucLj+ (hD)ij uLid

Now this can be written in four component spinor notation in terms of the mass eigen-
states. We will do this separately for Lgauge and LY ukawa. We obtain8

6.6.2 Neutral scalars couplings to fermions

the Lagrangian can be written as

6.6.3 Final formulas for the scalar couplings to fermions
In this Section we present the final formulas for the scalar couplings to fermions. To be
more precise we are going to only to write down those for the couplings fermionsfermion
chargino and fermionsfermionneutralino. These leave out the couplings of the neutral
and charged Higgs bosons with the fermions. These can be read from Eqs. (161), (162),
(166) and (167) not forgetting that we still have to perform the rotation into the Higgs
bosons mass eigenstates.

6.9 Quartic sfermion interactions
In this section we will show the quartic scalar couplings envolving the sfermions among
themselves.

6.11 Higgs boson self interactions
In this section we will show the self couplings envolving the Higgs boson among themselves.
We give separately the 3-point and 4-point interactions.
6.11.1 Higgs Higgs Higgs
For the 3-point Higgs boson self interactions we write the Lagrangian as
L =16gS

where 1/6 and 1/2 are symmetry factors for the case of identical particles, chosen in such
a way that, for instance, the coupling gS0S0S0
i,j,k11 is really the Feynman rule for the vertice
(after multiplying by i as usual), that is,
gS0S0S0
i,j,k 3L
S0i S0j S
0k
(204)
and similarly for the other cases. To simplify the notation we write the values for the
unrotated couplings defined by the relations
gS0S0S0
i,j,k = gS0S0S0
i,j,k RRR(S0)i,i RRR
(S0)j,j RRR
(S0)k,k (205)
and similar relations. We get
gS0S0S0
1,1,1 =3g2vd4
3g2vd4
gS0S0S0
1,1,2 =g2vu4
+g2vu4
11We have that, obviously, gS0S0S0
i,j,k is completely symmetric and gS0P 0P 0
i,j,k is symmetric in the last two
entries.
