A New Parametrization of the Seesaw Mechanism and Applications in Supersymmetric Models

arXiv:hep-ph/0206110 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.66.115013

Abstract

We present a new parametrization of the minimal seesaw model, expressing the heavy-singlet neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings and Majorana masses in terms of effective light-neutrino observables and an auxiliary Hermitian matrix In the minimal supersymmetric version of the seesaw model, the latter can be related directly to other low-energy observables, including processes that violate charged lepton flavour and CP. This parametrization enables one to respect the stringent constraints on muon-number violation while studying the possible ranges for other observables by scanning over the allowed parameter space of the model. Conversely, if any of the lepton-flavour-violating process is observed, this measurement can be used directly to constrain and As applications, we study flavour-violating decays and the electric dipole moments of leptons in the minimal supersymmetric seesaw model.
