چکیده

1550-7998=20 The recent measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle sol and the Cabibbo mixing angle C reveal a surprising relation, sol C ’ 4 , which has been interpreted as an evidence for quark-lepton unification. We show in realizations of quark-lepton unification that the PMNS mixing matrix can be decomposed into a CKM-like matrix and maximal mixing matrices. We explore a possibility to probe such implications by considering the relative sizes of branching ratios for the lepton flavor violating radiative decay processes, li ! lj , in the context of the supersymmetric standard model with heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos.

Lepton flavor violation as a probe of squark mixing in supersymmetric SU(5)

We study flavor violation in a supersymmetric SU(5) grand unification scenario in a model-independent way employing mass insertions. We examine how the quark and the lepton sector observables restrict sfermion mixings. In many cases, a lepton flavor violating process provides a stringent constraint on the flavor structure of right-handed down-type squarks. In particular, μ → eγ turns out to be ...

Quasi-Degenerate Neutrinos and Lepton Flavor Violation in Supersymmetric Models

In supersymmetric (SUSY) models the misalignment between fermion and sfermion families introduces unsuppressed flavor-changing processes. Even if the mass parameters are chosen to give no flavor violation, family dependent radiative corrections make this adjustment not stable. We analyze the rate of l → lγ in SUSY-GUT models with three quasi-degenerate neutrinos and universal scalar masses at t...

Neutrino masses and lepton-flavor violation in supersymmetric models with lopsided Froggatt-Nielsen charges

We analyze in detail lepton-flavor violation ~LFV! in the charged-lepton sector such as m→eg , t →mg , m→eee , and m→e conversion in nuclei, within the framework of supersymmetric models with lopsided Froggatt-Nielsen charges, in which the large mixing in the neutrino sector as well as small mixing in the quark sector can be naturally accommodated. We show that the present experimental limits o...

Combined flavor symmetry violation and lepton number violation in neutrino physics

Heavy singlet neutrinos admit Majorana masses which are not possible for the Standard Model particles. This suggest new possibilities for generating the masses and mixing angles of light neutrinos. We present a model of neutrino physics which combines the source of lepton number violation with the flavor symmetry responsible for the hierarchy in the charged lepton and quark sector. This is acco...

Implications of lepton flavor universality violations in B decays.

Present measurements of b→cτν and b→uτν transitions differ from the standard model predictions of lepton flavor universality by almost 4σ. We examine new physics interpretations of this anomaly. An effective field theory analysis shows that minimal flavor violating models are not preferred as an explanation, but are also not yet excluded. Allowing for general flavor violation, right-right vecto...
