In this work we study the Lepton Flavour Violating semileptonic $tau$ decays: 1) $tau to mu PP$ with $PP= pi^+pi^-, pi^0pi^0, K^+K^-, K^0 {bar K}^0$; 2) $tau to mu P$ with $P=pi^0, eta, eta$ and 3) $tau to mu V$ with $V = rho^0, phi$. We work within the context of two constrained MSSM scenarios: the CMSSM and NUHM. A full one-(SUSY)loop computation is presented and the importance of the various contributions, the $gamma$-, $Z$-, and Higgs bosons mediated ones are analysed. The hadronization of quark bilinears is performed within the chiral framework. Some discrepancies in the predicted rates for BR($tau to mu eta$), BR($tau to mu eta$) and BR($tau to mu K^+K^-$) are found with respect to previous estimates, which will be commented here. These three channels will be shown to be the most competitive ones to test simultaneously the Lepton Flavour Violation and the Higgs sector. We further present here a set of approximate formulas for all the semileptonic channels which we believe can be useful for further comparison with present and future data.
We calculate the predictions for lepton flavour violating (LFV) tau and muon decays, $l_j to l_i gamma$, $l_j to 3 l_i$, $mu-e$ conversion in nuclei and LFV semileptonic tau decays $tau to mu PP$ with $PP= pi^+pi^-, pi^0pi^0, K^+K^-, K^0 {bar K}^0$ $tau to mu P$ with $P=pi^0, eta, eta$ and $tau to mu V$ with $V = rho^0, phi$, performing the hadronisation of quark bilinears within the chiral framework. We work within a SUSY-seesaw context where the particle content of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is extended by three right-handed neutrinos plus their corresponding SUSY partners, and where a seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation is implemented. Two different scenarios with either universal or non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking Higgs masses at the gauge coupling unification scale are considered. After comparing the predictions with present experimental bounds and future sensitivities, the most promising processes are particularly emphasised.
Many models for physics beyond the Standard Model predict lepton-flavour violating decays of charged leptons at a level which may become observable very soon. In the present paper we investigate the decays of a Tau into three charged leptons in a generic way, based on effective-field-theory methods, where the relevant operators are classified according to their chirality structure. We work out the decay distributions and discuss phenomenological implications.
We study the supersymmetric version of the type-II seesaw mechanism assuming minimal supergravity boundary conditions. We calculate branching ratios for lepton flavour violating (LFV) scalar tau decays, potentially observable at the LHC, as well as LFV decays at low energy, such as $l_i to l_j + gamma$ and compare their sensitivity to the unknown seesaw parameters. In the minimal case of only one triplet coupling to the standard model lepton doublets, ratios of LFV branching ratios can be related unambigously to neutrino oscillation parameters. We also discuss how measurements of soft SUSY breaking parameters at the LHC can be used to indirectly extract information of the seesaw scale.
In minimal supergravity (mSugra), the neutrino sector is related to the slepton sector by means of the renormalization group equations. This opens a door to indirectly test the neutrino sector via measurements at the LHC. Concretely, for the simplest seesaw type-I, we present the correlations between seesaw parameters and ratio of stau lepton flavour violating (LFV) branching ratios. We find some simple, extreme scenarios for the unknown right-handed parameters, where ratios of LFV rates correlate with neutrino oscillation parameters. On the other hand, we scan the mSugra parameter space, for both seesaw type-I and II, to find regions where LFV stau decays can be maximized, while respecting low-energy experimental bounds. We estimate the expected number of events at the LHC for a sample luminosity of L = 100 fb^{-1}.
We study lepton flavor number violating rare B decays, $b to s l_h^{pm} l_l^{mp}$, in a seesaw model with low scale singlet Majorana neutrinos motivated by the resonant leptogenesis scenario. The branching ratios of inclusive decays $ b to s l_h^{pm} bar{l_l}^{mp} $ with two almost degenerate singlet neutrinos at TeV scale are investigated in detail. We find that there exists a class of seesaw model in which the branching fractions of $ b to s tau mu $ and $tau to mu gamma$ can be as large as $10^{-10}$ and $10^{-9}$ within the reach of Super B factories, respectively, without being in conflict with neutrino mixings and mass squared difference of neutrinos from neutrino data, invisible decay width of $Z$ and the present limit of $Br(mu to e gamma)$.
