Massive neutrinos and lepton-flavour-violating processes
Abstract
Description
If neutrino masses and mixings are suitable to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes, this amounts to contributions to FCNC processes, in particular $μ\to e, γ$. If the theory is supersymmetric and the origin of the masses is a see-saw mechanism, we show that the prediction for BR($μ\to e, γ$) is in general larger than the experimental upper bound, especially if the solar data are explained by a large angle MSW effect, which recent analyses suggest as the preferred scenario.
