Description

We study the supergravity phenomenology in the case of an alternative seesaw mechanism for generating neutrino masses. Changes in the neutrino sector lead to a modification of the supersymmetric particle spectrum and the sneutrino arises naturally as the lightest supersymmetric particle. The obtained sneutrino has a relic density within the WMAP range and is compatible with present nuclear recoil bounds.
