μto e in R-symmetric Supersymmetry
arXiv:1004.0556 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.035010
Abstract
We demonstrate that mu/e slepton mixing is significantly more restricted than previously thought within the already remarkably flavor-safe R-symmetric supersymmetric standard model. We calculate bounds from mu to e gamma, mu to 3e and, most importantly, mu to e conversion. The process mu to e conversion is significantly more restrictive in R-symmetric models since this process can occur through operators that do not require a chirality-flip. We delineate the allowed parameter space, demonstrating that maximal mixing is rarely possible with weak scale superpartners, while O(0.1) mixing is permitted within most of the space. The best approach to find or rule out mu/e mixing in R-symmetric supersymmetric models is a multi-pronged attack looking at both mu to e conversion as well as mu to e gamma. The redundancy eliminates much of the parameter space where one process, but not both processes, contain amplitudes that accidentally destructively interfere. We briefly discuss implications for searches of slepton flavor violation at the LHC.
