Lepton Flavor Violation of Z Gauge Boson Decays in Supersymmetric Type-III Seesaw Model

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the lepton flavor violation (LFV) of Z gauge boson decaying into two different flavor charged leptons $Z\to l_i{l}_j$ ($Z\to \tau \mu$, $Z\to \tau e$ and $Z\to \mu e$). This work is performed in the framework of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM) which is extended by the type-III seesaw mechanism. By considering constraints from the current experimental bounds on neutrino and supersymmetric particle masses, we calculate the branching ratios of the LFV of $Z$ boson decays. The numerical results are found to be $1.30\times {10}^{-9}$ for both the $\tau \mu$ and $\tau e$ decay channels and $6.40\times {10}^{-10}$ for the $\mu e$ channel. After applying the constraints from the experimental bounds on the radiative two body decays $l_i\to l_j\gamma$, the branching ratios of the LFV of $Z$ boson decays get an additional suppression of $10^{-3}$ for the $\tau \mu$ and $\tau e$ decay channels and $10^{-8}$ for the $\mu e$ channel. Our prediction of the branching ratios is several orders of magnitude below the current experimental bounds.
