Bilarge neutrino mixing in R-parity violating supersymmetry:: The role of right-chiral neutrino superfield

We consider the possibility of neutrino mass generation in a supersymmetric model where lepton number can be violated by odd units. The different patterns of mixing in the quark and lepton sectors are attributed to the presence of right-chiral neutrino superfields which (a) enter into Yukawa couplings via nonrenormalizable interaction with hidden sector fields, and (b) can violate lepton number by odd units. Both of these features are shown to be the result of some global quantum number which is violated when SUSY is broken in the hidden sector. It is shown how such a scenario, together with all known R-parity violating effects, can lead to neutrino masses and bilarge mixing via seesaw as well as radiative mechanisms. Some sample values of the various parameters involved, consistent with electroweak symmetry breaking constraints, are presented as illustrations.
