Stellar bounds on a model with photon-photino oscillation

In this paper, we pursue an investigation of the consequences of a mixing between supersymmetric partners - the photon and photino - analogous to the so-called Primakoff effect, but induced by a Lorentz-symmetry violating (LSV) fermionic-condensate background. In our framework, the LSV parameters are introduced as members of a non-dynamical superfield. As a consequence, we show that naturally there appears a mixing term between the gauge boson and the gaugino, which can be readily seen in the superspace/superfield approach. We inspect the kinetic photon-photino mixing matrix in the scenario of stellar physics which we apply our results to. Bounds on the strength of the fermionic LSV background are can be set by invoking the energy loss argument and the solar data we adopt.

Abstract

In this paper, we pursue an investigation of the consequences of a mixing between supersymmetric partners - the photon and photino - analogous to the so-called Primakoff effect, but induced by a Lorentz-symmetry violating (LSV) fermionic-condensate background. In our framework, the LSV parameters are introduced as members of a non-dynamical superfield. As a consequence, we show that naturally there appears a mixing term between the gauge boson and the gaugino, which can be readily seen in the superspace/superfield approach. We inspect the kinetic photon-photino mixing matrix in the scenario of stellar physics which we apply our results to. Bounds on the strength of the fermionic LSV background are can be set by invoking the energy loss argument and the solar data we adopt.
