Lepton Flavor ViolationLepton Flavor Violation
● Lepton Flavor is conserved in the Standard Model⇒ Clear sign for BSM physics
● Flavor Violation is seen in the quark and neutrino sector⇒ Strong case to look for charged Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV)
● LFV can shed light on– Grand Unification Models, Connection to quark flavor violation– Flavor Symmetries– Origin of Flavor
● Existing experimental boundsare stringent and will be improved in the near future

NeutrinosNeutrinos
● Standard Model: Neutrinos are massless● Experimental observation of neutrino flavor oscillations
⇒ Neutrinos have masses and neutrino flavor is violated
● Measured mixing angles and mass differences
⇒ Nearly bi-maximal mixing ≠ Quark mixing

● Problem of Standard Seesaw without SUSY:– Not Testable, Right-handed neutrinos too heavy– Only 9 parameters are (in principle) measurable
(light neutrino masses, mixing angles, CP phases)
– But: Model has 18 free parameters (Yν, MR)
● SUSY Seesaw:– Right-handed neutrinos are still too heavy – But: Corrections to the slepton mass matrix are in principle measurable

Variations and AlternativesVariations and Alternatives
● SO(10) SUSY GUT (e.g. L. Calibbi et al, hep-ph/0605139)
– more predictive by fixing Yν
● Seesaw II (e.g. F. R. Joaquim and A. Rossi, hep-ph/0604083)
– neutrino mass generated by triplet Higgs term
● Long-lived stau NLSP (K. Hamaguchi/A. Ibarra, hep-ph/0412229)
– Stau can decay to µ, e in detector
● R-parity violating SUSY (e.g. M. Hirsch et al., hep-ph/0004115)
– can serve as neutrino mass generation mechanism– true alternative to Seesaw
13/06/2007Frank Deppisch LFV in the Era of the LHC2626//2626
ConclusionConclusion
● SUSY Seesaw introduces a rich phenomenology– Charged LFV in low energy experiments and colliders– Effective description emerging naturally from SO(10) GUT– Connecting Neutrino-, EW/SUSY- and GUT-scale physics– CP Violation effects, e.g. Leptogenesis, EDM's
● SUSY Seesaw induces charged LFV processes– Rare decays, e.g. Br(µ→eγ), and other low energy processes– Decays of second lightest neutralino at the LHC– Slepton pair production at the ILC– Correlations among these processes and neutrino parameters
● Determination of model parameters– SUSY Seesaw in principle testable– e.g. Br(µ→eγ) = 10-11 ⇒ MR ≈ 1012-14 GeV
