A model for lepton flavor violating non-standard neutrino interactions
Yasaman Farzan
Abstract
We present a model for Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) neutral current non-standard interactions of neutrinos with matter fields parameterized by ϵαβf with α≠β. Here, unlike the previous models, the ratios of the off-diagonal LFV elements of the effective NSI coupling to the diagonal lepton flavor conserving ones (i.e., (ϵαβf)2/(ϵααfϵββf)) are arbitrary. The model enjoys rich phenomenology, predicting invisible Higgs decay and new meson decay modes observable in upcoming experiments. The model for ϵμef also predict a μ− to e− conversion rate on nuclei accessible in the planned experiments.
