14:00 - 14:30
Professor Mohapatra is rightly celebrated as one of the originators and strongest proponents of 'Left-Right Symmetric Models' which predict massive neutrinos. There are SUSY extensions of such constructions. However, there also exists SUSY extensions that are intrinsically not left-right symmetric even if the spectrum of the propagating particles respect the symmetry. We discuss the distinction this make in constructing higher order operators in beyond the standard model constructions.
