| dc.description | We study CP violation in the lepton sector of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with three generations of massive singlet neutrinos with Yukawa couplings $Y_ν$ to lepton doublets, in a minimal seesaw model for light neutrino masses and mixing. This model contains six physical CP-violating parameters, namely the phase $δ$ observable in oscillations between light neutrino species, two Majorana phases $ϕ_{1,2}$ that affect $ββ_{0 ν}$ decays, and three independent phases appearing in ${Y_ν}{Y_ν}^\dagger$, that control the rate of leptogenesis. Renormalization of the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters induces observable CP violation at low energies, including T-odd asymmetries in polarized $μ\to eee$ and $τ\to \ell \ell \ell$ decays, as well as lepton electric dipole moments. In the leading-logarithmic approximation in which the massive singlet neutrinos are treated as degenerate, these low-energy observables are sensitive via ${Y_ν}^\dagger{Y_ν}$ to just one combination of the leptogenesis and light-neutrino phases. We present numerical results for the T-odd asymmetry in polarized $μ\to eee$ decay, which may be accessible to experiment, but the lepton electric dipole moments are very small in this approximation. To the extent that the massive singlet neutrinos are not degenerate, low-energy observables become sensitive also to two other combinations of leptogenesis and light-neutrino phases, in this minimal supersymmetric seesaw model. | |
