See-Saw Induced CMSSM Lepton-Flavour Violation Post-WMAP

Abstract

The see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation, when incorporated in supersymmetric theories with supergravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, results in low-energy lepton-flavour violation arising from the soft supersymmetry breaking slepton masses. The parameter space of supergravity theories with conserved R-parity is severely constrained by the requirement that the LSP provide cold dark matter with a relic density in the range indicated by the recent WMAP measurements, as well as by laboratory constraints. We calculate the \meg\meg branching ratio for the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model, over the range of parameters consistent with WMAP and laboratory constraints, in families of see-saw model parameterizations which fit the low energy neutrino measurements. We find that over much of the range of see-saw models, for supersymmetry parameters consistent with WMAP and laboratory bounds, the resulting predicted rates for \meg\meg (and other charged lepton flavour violating processes) are within current experimental limits, but that these rates should be detectable with the next generation of lepton-flavour violation experiments.
