Abstract

We present predictions for μeγ\mu \to e \gamma and τμγ\tau \to \mu \gamma in the CMSSM in which there is a natural hierarchy of neutrino masses resulting from the sequential dominance of three right-handed neutrinos. We perform a global analysis of this model in the (m0,M1/2)(m_0,M_{1/2}) plane, assuming radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, and including all observed laboratory data. We confirm that a large (small) τμγ\tau \to \mu \gamma rate results from the dominant right-handed neutrino being the heaviest (lightest) one. We show that the μeγ\mu \to e \gamma rate may determine the order of the sub-dominant neutrino Yukawa couplings in the flavour basis, but may also be sensitive to effects beyond the leading log and leading mass insertion approximations. We also show that the μeγ\mu \to e \gamma rate is independent of θ13\theta_{13}, but measurement of this angle may determine a ratio of sub-dominant Yukawa couplings.
