1 Journée de réflexion DPNC 18 June ‘12 Alessandro Bravar Lepton Flavor Violation  3e @ PSI UniGE @ PSI Lepton Flavor Violation The  3e experiment (   → e  e  e  ) Sci-Fi ToF Tracker UniGE planned contributions

2 Lepton Flavor Conservation Origin of Lepton Flavor Number / Conservation the neutrino produced along with a  + (e  ) in  + decay, when interacting with matter will produced only   s (e  s), →  is different from e ; → Lepton Flavor (Family) Conservation Neutrino oscillations, however, violate this ansatz: after traveling some distance the  can produce a   (OPERA) or an e  (T2K) Flavor Conservation in the charge lepton sector: Processes like  A → e A  → e +   → e e e have not been observed yet. The mechanism and size of LFV remain elusive. In the quark sector the situation is quite different: quarks decay, mix, … only the baryonic number is conserved. However Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) have not been observed.

3 Lepton Flavor Violation in  eee Lepton Flavor Violation in  → eee neutrino oscillations SUSY exotic particles Current experimental limit BR(  → eee) < 10  12 (90% c.l., SINDRUM 1988) This experiment (  3e @ PSI) BR(  → eee) < 10  15 (90% c.l. exclusion) phase I (2015 – 2017) BR(  → eee) < 10  16 (90% c.l. exclusion) phase II (2018 – 2020) BR(  → eee) = 3  10  16 (5  discovery) Explore physics up to the PeV scale Complementary to direct searches at LHC

4 LFV in the Standard Model process is heavily suppressed due to the small mass difference of neutrinos (  m 2 ~ 10 -3 eV 2 ) ! BR (   → e  e  e  ) < 10  50 → measurement not affected by SM processes

5 Beyond the Standard Model LFV addressesissues like  origin of flavor  neutrino mass generation  CP violation LFV predicted by many BSM models: Supersymmetry Higgs triplet models Little Higgs models New heavy Vector Bosons (Z’) Leptoquark (GUT models) Extra dimensions In many models sizeable and therefore observable LFV effects are expected: BR(  → eee) ~ 10  12 possible (just beyond SINDRUM limit)

6 LFV Searches : Current Situation The best limits on LFV come from PSI muon experiments  → eee BR < 10  12 SINDRUM 1988   + Au → e  + Au BR < 7  10  13 SINDRUM II 2006  → e +  BR < 2.4  10  12 MEG 2011 BR(  → eee) / BR(  → e  ) ~ o(  em /  ) BR(  A → eA) / BR(  → e  ) ~ o(  em /  ) SINDRUM SINDRUM II MEG

7 Comparison  e  and  eee Comparison  → e  and  → eee Effective charge LFV Lagrangian (“toy” model) (Kuno and Okada)  effective mass scale (including coupling)  – “contact” vs “loop” amplitude contribution (parameter of “toy” model)  → e  1 PeV +
