Higgs-mediated muon–electron conversion process in supersymmetric see-saw model

Abstract: We study the effect of the Higgs-exchange diagram for the lepton flavor violating muon-electron conversion process in nuclei in the supersymmetric seesaw model. The contribution is significant for a large value of tan β and a small value of a neutral heavy Higgs boson mass, in which case the ratio of the branching ratios of B(µN → eN)/B(µ → eγ) is enhanced. We also show that the target atom dependence of the conversion branching ratio provides information on the size of the Higgs exchange diagram. *

“…On the contrary, N ! eN is not suppressed by the light constituent quark m u and m d but only by the nucleon masses, because the Higgs-boson coupling to the nucleon is shown to be characterized by the nucleon mass using the conformal anomaly relation [797]. In particular, the most important contribution turns out to come from the exchange of the scalar Higgs boson H which couples to the strange quark [797].…”

“…The dominant contribution to Higgs-mediated µN → eN comes from a tree-level Higgs boson exchange [8]. The reason is that coupling between the Higgs boson and nucleon is characterized by the nucleon mass m N through the conformal anomaly relation [23], and could evade suppression of the light constituent quark mass.…”

“…On the other hand, since the Higgsmediated effects are not suppressed by M SUSY [6], these contributions to the processes could be sizable when M SUSY is much greater than the TeV scale. The branching ratio of µ-e conversion in nuclei is more sensitive to the Higgs-mediated contribution [7,8]. Indeed, the ratio of the branching ratio for µ → eγ and µ-e conversion in nuclei is a good observable to constrain mass spectrum in the MSSM, since it is sensitive to whether the gaugino-mediated or Higgs-mediated contribution is dominant.…”
