چکیده

We discuss the constraints of lepton mixing angles from lepton number violating processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay, μ-e conversion and K decay, K− → πμμ which are allowed only if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The rates of these processes are proportional to the averaged neutrino mass defined by 〈mν〉ab ≡ | ∑3 j=1 UajUbjmj | in the absence of right-handed weak coupling. Here a, b(j) are flavour(mass) eigen states and Uaj is the left-handed lepton mixing matrix. We obtain the consistency conditions which are satisfied irrelevant to the concrete values of CP violation phases (three phases in Majorana neutrinos). These conditions constrain the lepton mixing angles, neutrino masses mi and 〈mν〉ab. By using these constraints we obtain the limits on the averaged neutrino masses for μ-e conversion and K decay, K− → πμμ.

How to Describe Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation

We present a classification of possible parametrizations of the 3 × 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix in terms of the rotation and phase angles. A particular parametrization, which is most convenient to describe the observables of neutrino oscillations and that of the neutrinoless double beta decay, is studied in detail. The possibility to determine the Diracand Majorana-type CP-violating phases ar...

Lepton 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...

Neutrino Masses and Lepton Flavour Violation in Thick Brane Scenarios

We address the issue of lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses in the “fat-brane” paradigm, where flavour changing processes are suppressed by localising different fermion field wave-functions at different positions (in the extra dimensions) in a thick brane. We study the consequences of suppressing lepton number violating charged lepton decays within this scenario for lepton masses and m...

Fermion Masses and Mixing in Thick Branes

Fermion masses and mixing, both in the quark and leptonic sector, are discussed within the approach to the Yukawa puzzle proposed by Arkani-Hamed and Schmaltz. In the quark sector we have shown that at least two extra dimensions are necessary in order to obtain sufficient CP violation, while reproducing the correct quark mass spectrum and mixing angles. We have also studied the consequences of ...

Lepton Number Violation in Top-Color Assisted Technicolor

We calculate the rates for lepton number violating processes via the exchange of the Z ′ boson occuring in top-color assisted technicolor. We found that μ-e conversion in nuclei is about an order of magnitude better than μ → 3e for constraining the magnitudes of the lepton mixing angles. The decay μ → eγ yields much weaker bounds. The current experimental limits allow for a mass of the new gaug...
