We consider the possible anomaly free Abelian discrete symmetries of the MSSM that forbid the mu-term at perturbative order. Allowing for anomaly cancellation via the Green-Schwarz mechanism we identify discrete R-symmetries as the only possibility and prove that there is a unique Z_4^R symmetry that commutes with SO(10). We argue that non-perturbative effects will generate a mu-term of electroweak order thus solving the mu-problem. The non-perturbative effects break the Z_4^R symmetry leaving an exact Z_2 matter parity. As a result dimension four baryon- and lepton-number violating operators are absent while, at the non-perturbative level, dimension five baryon- and lepton-number violating operators get induced but are highly suppressed so that the nucleon decay rate is well within present bounds.

  1. Interpreting Light Scalar Excesses and Heavy Scalar Cascades in the $\mu$-Term Extended NMSSM

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Viable μNMSSM regions can fit the 95 GeV diphoton/bb anomalies and produce H→hhs and A2→hA1→4b cascades near the 650 and (600,400) GeV CMS structures.

  2. Aspects of the WIMP quality problem and R-parity violation in natural supersymmetry with all axion dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In natural supersymmetry with discrete R-symmetries, R-parity violation at the 1e-7 level can make the lightest supersymmetric particle decay before nucleosynthesis, leaving only axion dark matter, and LHC non-observa...

  3. Neutrino masses and mixed dark matter from doublet and singlet scalars

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Z4-breaking singlet VEV generates one-loop neutrino masses and yields a mixed doublet-singlet scalar dark matter candidate that can satisfy relic density and direct detection bounds.

  4. All axion dark matter from supersymmetric models

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Z_4^R and Z_8^R discrete R-symmetries, R-parity violating couplings of order 10^-7 make the lightest supersymmetric particle decay in 10^-3 to 10 seconds, so the dark matter is entirely axion cold dark matter.
