We consider several possibilities for the neutrino Yukawa coupling matrix and show that in regions of SUSY parameter space that yield the correct neutralino relic density, LFV rates can differ from naive estimates by up to two orders of magnitude. Contrary to common belief, we find that current LFV limits do not exclude neutrino Yukawa couplings larger than top Yukawa couplings. We introduce the ISAJET-M program that was used for the computations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-09-29T19:30:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.30.Fs", "12.60.Jv", "95.35.+d", "13.35.-r" ], "keywords": [ "lepton flavor violation", "susy dark matter", "exclude neutrino yukawa couplings larger", "correct neutralino relic density", "flavor-blind universal boundary conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 80, "number": 7, "pages": "076004" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 828048, "adsabs": "2009PhRvD..80g6004B" } } }
