Lepton Flavour Violation in Supersymmetric Models
Abstract
Description
We present two recent developments on lepton flavour violation in the MSSM. 1) The supersymmetric seesaw mechanism can be realized through the exchange of heavy SU(2)_W-triplet states, rather than `right-handed' neutrinos. In this scenario the ratio of the tau --> mu gamma (or tau --> e gamma) and mu --> e gamma rates are unambiguously predicted in terms of the low-energy neutrino parameters. 2) Lepton flavour violating decays of the Higgs bosons, (h, H, A) --> mu tau, are induced at one-loop level. The branching ratios can reach 10^{-4} for large tan(beta) and sizeable smuon-stau mixing. Interesting implications for LHC and correlations with tau --> mu gamma and tau --> 3 mu are found.
