Introduction to charged lepton flavor violation

M Ardu, G Pezzullo - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
Neutrino masses are evidence of lepton flavor violation, but no violation in the interactions
among the charged leptons has been observed yet. Many models of Physics Beyond the …

Oscillating neutrinos and μ→ e, γ

JA Casas, A Ibarra - Nuclear Physics B, 2001 - Elsevier
If neutrino masses and mixings are suitable to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino
fluxes, this amounts to contributions to FCNC processes, in particular μ→ e, γ. If the theory is …

Detailed calculation of lepton flavor violating muon-electron conversion rate for various nuclei

R Kitano, M Koike, Y Okada - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
The coherent μ− e conversion rates in various nuclei are calculated for general lepton flavor
violating interactions. We solve the Dirac equations numerically for the initial state muon and …

Solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations and lepton flavor violation in supersymmetric models with right-handed neutrinos

J Hisano, D Nomura - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
Taking the solar and the atmospheric neutrino experiments into account we discuss the
lepton flavor violating processes, such as τ→ μ γ or μ→ e γ, in the minimal supersymmetric …

Anatomy and phenomenology of μ–τ lepton flavour violation in the MSSM

A Brignole, A Rossi - Nuclear physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
We perform a detailed analysis of several μ–τ lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes,
namely τ→ μX (X= γ, e+ e−, μ+ μ−, ρ, π, η, η′), Z→ μτ and Higgs boson decays into μτ. First …

New parametrization of the seesaw mechanism and applications in supersymmetric models

J Ellis, J Hisano, M Raidal, Y Shimizu - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We present a new parametrization of the minimal seesaw model, expressing the heavy-
singlet neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings (Y ν) ij and Majorana masses MN i in terms of …
