| Research Abstract |
In this project I performed theoretical study on lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes in various supersymmetric models and discussed future experimental prospects.
1.I studied μ→eγ and μ→3e processes in SU(5) and SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified theories (SUSY GUT). Using polarized muons we can measure asymmetries with respect to parity and time-reversal invariance, which are useful to distinguish different models. In particular, I showed information on SUSY CP phases would be obtained in the SU(5) case.
2. It is shown that the μ→eγ branching ratio can be enhanced in a SU(5) SUSY GUT model with realistic quark/lepton mass ratios.
3. Various LFV processes and flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes in B and K mesons are studied in a SUSY GUT model with right-handed neutrino, and correlation between various observables is clarified.
4. It is shown that we can search for P and T odd quantities of LFV interactions, if we use the spin-spin correlation in tau pair production processes.
5. Various FCNC processes and the muon anomalous magnetic moment are investigated in SUSY models in connection with study on LFV.
