Abstract

The Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) processes μeγ\mu \to e \gamma and τμγ\tau \to \mu \gamma are estimated in a model of electroweak-scale right-handed neutrinos. The present bounds on the branching ratios, B(μeγ)<1.2×1011B(\mu \to e \gamma)< 1.2 \times 10^{-11}, B(τμγ)<6.8×108B(\tau \to \mu \gamma) < 6.8 \times 10^{-8} (BaBar) and <4.5×108< 4.5 \times 10^{-8} (Belle), puts strong constraints on the parameters of the model. This constraint links low energy rare decay processes to high-energy phenomena (e.g. decay lengths of the mirror charged leptons which are important in the search for the telltale like-sign dilepton events present in the model of electroweak-scale right-handed neutrinos).
