Abstract
We investigate lepton flavor violation in the scotogenic model proposed by Ma in which neutrinos acquire non-zero masses at the 1-loop level. Although some works exist in this direction, they have mainly focused on the radiative decay . Motivated by the promising new projects involving other low-energy processes, we derive complete analytical expressions for and conversion in nuclei, and numerically study their impact on the phenomenology. We will show that these processes can actually have rates larger than the one for , thus providing more stringent constraints and better experimental perspectives.
