In this paper, we study the lepton flavor violating decays of the $l_j\rightarrow l_i \gamma\gamma$ (j=2, 3; i=1, 2) processes under the $U(1)_X$SSM. The $U(1)_X$SSM is the addition of three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed…
If $\nu_\mu$ or $\nu_\tau$ mix with $\nu_e$, neutrino oscillations and collisions in a supernova (SN) core allow these flavors effectively to participate in $\beta$ equilibrium and thus to obtain a large chemical potential. If a sterile…
