Tau Flavour Violation in Sparticle Decays at the LHC

چکیده
We consider sparticle decays that violate τ lepton number, motivated by neutrino oscillation data. We work in the context of the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM), in which the different sleptons have identical masses at the GUT scale, and neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings mix them. We find that the branching ratio for decay of the heavier neutralino χ2 → χ + τ μ is enhanced when the LSP mass mχ ∼ mτ̃1 , including the region of CMSSM parameter space where coannihilation keeps the relic χ density within the range preferred by cosmology. Thus χ2 → χ + τ μ decay may provide a physics opportunity for observing the violation of τ lepton number at the LHC that is complementary to τ → μ + γ decay. Likewise, χ2 → χ + e μ decay is also enhanced in the coannihilation region, providing a complement to μ → e+ γ decay. CERN-TH/2002-132 June 2002

Search for Tau Flavour Violation at the LHC
We explore the prospects for searches at the LHC for sparticle decays that violate τ lepton number, in the light of neutrino oscillation data and the seesaw model for neutrino masses and mixing. We analyse the theoretical and phenomenological conditions required for tau flavour violation to be observable in χ2 → χ + τμ decays, for cosmologically interesting values of the relic neutralino LSP de...
متن کاملLepton Number Violation in Decays of Supersymmetric Particles
We discuss lepton flavour violating signals at the LHC in the framework of supersymmetric theories. We consider R-parity conserving as well as R-parity violating scenarios. In the case of R-parity conservation we show that in decays of supersymmetric particles large regions in parameter exist where lepton flavour violating decay modes have large branching ratios despite the stringent constraint...

Test of lepton flavour violation at LHC
We study lepton flavour violating decays of neutralinos and sleptons within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, taking into account the recent bounds on flavour violating lepton decays. Taking the SPS1a’ scenario as an example, we show that some of these lepton flavour violating branching ratios of neutralinos and sleptons can be ∼5-10%. We study the impact of the lepton flavour violatin...
متن کاملSquark and gaugino hadroproduction and decays in non-minimal flavour violating supersymmetry
Abstract. We implement non-minimal flavour violation (NMFV) in the MSSM at low scale. In this framework, we propose benchmark points for the mSUGRA scenario including non-minimal flavour violation by evaluating a number of experimental low-energy, electroweak precision and cosmological constraints. We finally discuss phenomenological aspects of our NMFV scenario and present a numerical analysis...
