Lepton flavor violation in inverse seesaw model

Abstract

We analyze the lepton flavor violation processes $μ-e$ conversion, $l_i\rightarrow l_jγ$ and $l_i\rightarrow 3l_j$ in framework of the Standard Model (SM) extended with inverse seesaw mechanism, as a function of $\tildeη = 1 -|Det(\tilde {U}_{PMNS})|$ that parameterizes the departure from unitary of the light neutrino mixing sub-matrix $\tilde {U}_{PMNS}$. In a wide range of $\tildeη$, the predictions on the $μ-e$ conversion rates and the branching ratio of $μ\rightarrow eγ$ are sizeable to be compatible with the experimental upper limits or future experimental sensitivities. For large scale of $\tildeη$, the predictions on branching ratios of other lepton flavor processes can also be reach the experimental upper limits or future experimental sensitivities. The value of $\tildeη$ depends on the determinant of the Majorana mass term $M_μ$. Finally, searching for lepton flavor violation processes in experiment provides us more opportunities for the searches of seesaw nature of the neutrino masses.
