Lepton flavor violation decays with the fourth generation neutrino

Abstract

We investigate the lepton flavor violation decays, $\tau \to \mu \gamma$, $\tau \to e\gamma$ and $\mu \to e\gamma$, in the framwork of a squential fourth generation model with a heavy fourth neutrino, ${\nu }^{\prime }$. Using the recent experimental bounds, we can obtain the constraints of the $4\times 4$ leptonic mixing matrix element factors, $V_{1{\nu }^{\prime }},V_{2{\nu }^{\prime }}$ and $V_{3{\nu }^{\prime }}$. We find that LFV decays can give strigent costraints on the parameter space of the 4th neutrino mass $m_{{\nu }^{\prime }}$.
