LFV and Dipole Moments in Models with A4 Flavour Symmetry

نویسنده

چکیده

It is presented an analysis on lepton flavour violating transitions, leptonic magnetic dipole moments and electric dipole moments in a class of models characterized by the flavour symmetry A4 × Z3 × U(1)FN , whose choice is motivated by the approximate Tri-Bimaximal mixing observed in neutrino oscillations. A low-energy effective Lagrangian is constructed, where these effects are dominated by dimension six operators, suppressed by the scale M of new physics. All the flavour breaking effects are universally described by the vacuum expectation values 〈Φ〉 of a set of spurions. Two separate cases, a supersymmetric and a general one, are described. An upper limit on θ13 of a few percent is concluded.

In order to satisfy current FCNC and CP violation bounds, SUSY flavour structures cannot be generic. An interesting solution to these SUSY Flavour and CP Problems lies on the use of an SU(3) family symmetry which spontaneously breaks CP symmetry. Typical observables of such a model are electric dipole moments and LFV processes. In addition, these models can give contributions to CP violation in...

LFV in Models with A4 Flavour Symmetry

The approximated tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) observed in the ν oscillations is a particular feature of a class of models characterized by the spontaneously broken horizontal flavour symmetry A4. In this paper, it is presented an analysis on the predictions of these models for relevant low-energy observables. In an effective operator approach, these effects are dominated by dim-6 operators, suppr...

Phenomenological Implications of an SU(5)× S4×U(1) SUSY GUT of Flavour

We discuss the characteristic low energy phenomenological implications of an SU(5) Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (SUSY GUT) whose flavour structure is controlled by the family symmetry S4 ×U(1), which provides a good description of all quark and lepton masses, mixings as well as CP violation. Although the model closely mimics Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) as shown in [1], here we focus ...

Impact of θ 13 on Lepton Flavour Violating processes within SUSY Seesaw

We study the impact of neutrino masses and mixings on LFV processes within the context of the supersymmetric seesaw scenario, where the CMSSM is extended by three right-handed (s)neutrinos. A hierarchical spectrum is considered for both heavy and light neutrinos. We systematically analyse the interesting relation between the leptonic mixing angle θ13 and LFV muon and tau decays, namely lj → li ...
