Zusammenfassung:
We show that the doubly charged scalar from the SU(2)R-triplet Higgs field in the Left-Right Symmetric Model has its mass governed by a hidden symmetry so that its value can be much lower than the SU(2)R breaking scale. This makes it a long-lived particle while being consistent with all existing theoretical and experimental constraints. Such long-lived doubly charged scalars have the potential to trigger catalyzed fusion processes in light nuclei, which may have important applications for energy production. We show that it could also bear consequences on the excess of large ionization energy loss (dE/dx) recently observed in collider experiments.
