Neutrino textures and charged lepton flavour violation in light of theta13, MEG and LHC data

Abstract

In light of recent results from the LHC, MEG and neutrino experiments, we revisit the issue of charged lepton flavour violation (LFV) in supersymmetric theories with massive neutrinos, where flavour-violating soft supersymmetry-breaking masses for sleptons are induced naturally by radiative corrections. We link our results to the expectations for neutrino mixing angles in SU(5) enhanced by an abelian flavour symmetry, with particular focus on ${\theta }_{13}$. We focus on the radiative decays ${\ell }_i\to {\ell }_j\gamma$ and on detection prospects at the LHC and a linear collider (LC). We use supersymmetric parameters consistent with cosmological considerations and with LHC searches for supersymmetry and the Higgs mass. We find a class of scenarios where the LHC may be sensitive to LFV sparticle decays and LFV processes could be detectable at a LC with centre-of-mass energy above 1 TeV, whereas LFV lepton decays may be suppressed by cancellations in the decay amplitudes.
