A novel washout effect in the flavored leptogenesis

We investigate a flavored washout effect due to the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino, assuming that there is non-vanishing initial lepton asymmetry and the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrinos gives negligible contribution to the asymmetry. We figure out general features of the washout effect. It is shown that there is a novel parameter region where an effect that is negligible in most cases plays a critical role and a sizable lepton asymmetry can survive against the washout process even in a strong washout region.

Enhancement of lepton flavor violation in a model with bi-maximal mixing at the grand unification scale

We study phenomenological predictions in the scenario with the quasi-degenerate relation among neutrino Dirac masses, m_D1 simeq m_D2 < m_D3, assuming the bi-maximal mixing at the grand unification scale in supersymmetric standard models with right-handed neutrinos. A sufficient lepton number asymmetry can be produced for successful leptogenesis. The lepton flavor violating process mu to e gamma can be enhanced due to the Majorana phase, so that it can be detectable at forthcoming experiments. The processes tau to e gamma and tau to mu gamma are suppressed because of the structure of neutrino Dirac masses, and their branching ratios are smaller than that of mu to e gamma.

Phase effects from the general neutrino Yukawa matrix on lepton flavor violation

We examine contributions from Majorana phases to lepton flavor violating processes in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with heavy right-handed neutrinos. All phases in the complex neutrino Yukawa matrix are taken into account in our study. We find that in the scenario with universal soft-breaking terms sizable phase effects can appear on the lepton flavor violating processes such as $μ\to e γ$, $τ\to e γ$, and $τ\to μγ$. In particular, the branching ratio of $μ\to e γ$ can be considerably enhanced due to the Majorana phases, so that it can be much greater than that of $τ\to μγ$.

Lepton Flavor Violation in the Higgs Boson Decay at a Linear Collider

We study possibility of observing the process $h^{0} \to τ^{\pm} μ^{\mp}$ at a linear collider. The branching ratio is constrained to be of the order of $10^{-4}$ by the $τ^{-} \to μ^{-} η$ result. Supersymmetric standard models can reproduce such amount of the branching ratio by taking a specific parameter set. The Higgsstrahlung process $e^{+}e^{-} \to Zh^{0}$ is preferable because of its simple kinematic structure, then, the signal process is $e^{+} e^{-} \to Z h^{0} \to Z τ^{\pm} μ^{\mp}$. The most serious background comes from the process, $e^{+} e^{-} \to Zh^{0} \to Zτ^{\pm} τ^{\mp} \to τ^{\pm} μ^{\mp} ν\barν$. We estimate the significance of the signal, taking into account the background reduction.

Search for Lepton Flavor Violation in the Higgs Boson Decay at a Linear Collider

We discuss possibility of direct search for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in Yukawa interaction by measuring the branching ratio for the decay of the lightest Higgs boson ($h^0$) into a $τ$-$μ$ pair at a linear collider. We study the significance of the signal process, $e^+e^- \to Z^\ast \to Z h^0 \to Z τ^\pm μ^\mp$, against the backgrounds such as $e^{+}e^{-} \to Z τ^{+}τ^{-} \to Z τ^{\pm}μ^{\mp}+$ missings. After taking appropriate kinematic cuts, the number of the background event is considerably reduced, so that the signal can be visible when the branching ratio of $h^0 \to τ^\pm μ^\mp$ is larger than about $10^{-4}$. In a Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model scenario, the effective coupling of $h^0 τ^\pm μ^\mp$ can be generated at loop level due to the slepton mixing. When supersymmetric mass parameters are larger than TeV scales, the branching ratio can be as large as several times $10^{-4}$. Therefore, the signal can be marginally visible at a LC. In the general two Higgs doublet model, the possible maximal value for the branching ratio of $h^0 \to τ^\pm μ^\mp$ can reach to a few times $10^{-3}$ within the available experimental bound, so that we can obtain larger significance.

The role of Majorana CP phases in the bi-maximal mixing scheme -hierarchical Dirac mass case-

We discuss the energy scale profile of the bi-maximal mixing which is given at the GUT energy scale in the minimal SUSY model, associated with an assumption that Y_nu^dagger Y_nu is diagonal, where Y_nu is the neutrino-Yukawa coupling matrix. In this model, the Dirac mass matrix which appears in the seesaw neutrino mass matrix is determined by three neutrino masses, two relative Majorana phases and three heavy Majorana masses. All CP phases are related by two Majorana phases. We show that the requirement that the solar mixing angle moves from the maximal mixing at GUT to the observed one as the energy scale decreases by the renormalization effect. We discuss the leptogenesis, and the lepton flavor violation process by assuming the universal soft breaking terms.

Exploring flavor structure of supersymmetry breaking from rare B decays and unitarity triangle

We study effects of supersymmetric particles in various rare B decay processes as well as in the unitarity triangle analysis. We consider three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, SU(5) SUSY GUT with right-handed neutrinos, and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with U(2) flavor symmetry. In the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right-handed neutrinos, we consider two cases of the mass matrix of the right-handed neutrinos. We calculate direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries in the b to s gamma decay and CP asymmetry in B_d to phi K_S as well as the B_s--anti-B_s mixing amplitude for the unitarity triangle analysis in these models. We show that large deviations are possible for the SU(5) SUSY GUT and the U(2) model. The pattern and correlations of deviations from the standard model will be useful to discriminate the different SUSY models in future B experiments.

The renormalization group effect to the bi-maximal mixing

We discuss whether the bi-maximal mixing given at GUT is consistent with the solar mixing at the normal side at the low energy. We consider the radiative corrections due to the tau-Yukawa, the neutrino-Yukawa and the slepton threshold corrections and discuss in what situation the maximal solar angle rotates towards the normal side. In this scheme, the |V_{13}| and the Dirac CP phase delta are induced radiatively and we estimate these values.

Prediction of |V_{13}| and the Dirac phase in the Neutrino Mixing Matrix

We considered a model where |V_{13}|=0 so that delta=0 at M_R and analyzed mixing angles and CP violation angles at the low energy scale by using the renormalization group in the MSSM model. In this model, parameters at M_R scale are two mixing angles (theta_{12} and theta_{23}), three neutrino masses, and two Majorana phases. We found that (1) sin^2 2 theta_{12} at the low energy scale must be less than that at $M_R$ scale, (2) the induced |V_{13}| can be as large as 0.05 if masses of neutrinos are around 0.05 eV.

Exploring Flavor Structure of Supersymmetry Breaking at B factories

We investigate flavor physics at present and future B factories in order to distinguish supersymmetric models. We evaluate CP asymmetries in various B decay modes, Delta M(Bd), Delta M(Bs), and epsilon_K in three supersymmetric models, i.e. the minimal supergravity, the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right handed neutrinos, and a supersymmetric model with U(2) flavor symmetry. The allowed regions of Delta M(Bs)/Delta M(Bd) and CP asymmetries in B to J/psi K_S and b to s gamma are different for the three models so that it is possible to distinguish the three models by precise determinations of these observables in near future experiments.

Exploring the neutrino mass matrix at M_R scale

We discuss the neutrino mass matrix which predicts zero or small values of |V_{13}| in MSSM and found the inequality, sin^2 2theta_{12} <= sin^2 2theta_sol, where sin^2 2theta_{12} is the mixing angle at M_R scale and sin^2 2theta_{sol} is the value determined by the solar neutrino oscillation. This constraint says that the model which predicts a larger value of tan^2 theta_{sol} at M_R than the experimental value is excluded. In particular, the bi-maximal mixing scheme at M_R scale is excluded, from the experimental value tan^2 theta_sol<1. In this model, |V_{13}| and a Dirac phase at m_Z are induced radiatively and turn out to be not small. The effective neutrino mass is expected to be of order 0.05 eV.

Exploring Flavor Structure of Supersymmetry Breaking at B factories

We investigate quark flavor signals in three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right handed neutrinos, and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with U(2) flavor symmetry, in order to study physics potential of the present and future $B$ factories. We evaluate CP asymmetries in various B decay modes, $Δm_{B_s}$, $Δm_{B_d}$, and $ε_K$. The allowed regions of the CP asymmetry in $B\to J/ψK_S$ and $Δm_{B_s}/Δm_{B_d}$ are different for the three models so that precise determinations of these observables in near future experiments are useful to distinguish the three models. We also investigate possible deviations from the standard model predictions of CP asymmetries in other B decay modes. In particular, a large deviation is possible for the U(2) model. The consistency check of the unitarity triangle including $B\to ππ,ρπ,D^{(*)}K^{(*)},D^{(*)}π,D^{*}ρ$, and so on, at future high luminosity $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories and hadronic $B$ experiments is therefore important to distinguish flavor structures of different supersymmetric models.

The matter fluctuation effect to T violation at a neutrino factory

We derived an analytic formula for T violation by using the perturbation theory for small quantities, $Δm_{21}^2L/2E$ and $δa(x)L/2E$, where $δa(x)$ represents symmetric and asymmetric matter fluctuations, i.e., deviations from the average density. We analyzed the effect of matter fluctuations to T violation, by assuming PREM profile of earth matter density. We found that matter fluctuations do not give any viable contribution for $L<$6000km, while the fluctuation effect becomes large due to resonances for $L>$7000km. For 7000km$ $8000km, the contribution from matter fluctuations becomes large but contributes constructively.

Renormalization group effect and a democratic-type neutrino mass matrix

In our previous paper, we proposed the democratic-type neutrino mass matrix which gives interesting predictions, $θ_{23}=-\fracπ4$, $|\tan θ_{12}|=\sqrt{2-3\sin^2 θ_{13}}$ and $δ=\frac π2$, where $θ_{ij}$ is the mixing angle between mass eigenstates $ν_i$ and $ν_j$, and $δ$ is the CP violation angle in the standard parameterization of mixing matrix. In this paper, we examined how predictions behave at $m_Z$ by assuming that they are given at the right-handed neutrino mass scale, $M_R$.
