Decay of the Z' gauge boson with lepton flavor violation

Abstract

The flavor-violating decay of a new neutral massive gauge boson $Z^{\prime }\to \mu e$ is analyzed in the context of extended models, in which this particle emerges. By means of the analysis of the $\mu \to e\gamma$ decay, $\mu -e$ conversion process in nuclei and the $\mu \to e{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ decay, the strength of the $Z^{\prime }\mu e$ coupling is estimated and used to calculate the branching ratio of the $Z^{\prime }\to \mu e$ decay. This is done for the so-called $Z_S,Z_{LR},Z_{\chi },Z_{\psi }$ and $Z_{\eta }$ bosons. We found that, through the $\mu -e$ conversion process, the most restrictive bound for the coupling is provided by the $Z_{LR}$ boson. Meanwhile, by means of the $\mu \to e{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ decay, the most restrictive bound for the $Z^{\prime }\mu e$ coupling is provided by the $Z_{\chi }$ boson. However, if we concentrate on the less restrictive prediction for the Br($Z^{\prime }\to \mu e$), this comes from the $Z_{\eta }$ boson and the resulting branching ratio is less than $10^{-4}$. On the other hand, if we consider the most restrictive bound, the branching ratio for the process is below $2\times 10^{-7}$, which results from the $Z_{RL}$ boson, and is obtained through the $\mu -e$ conversion process.
