Implications of a very light pseudoscalar boson on lepton flavor violation
- 1. Facultad de Ciencias Fisico Matematicas, Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, Apartado Postal 1152, Puebla, Puebla (Mexico)
Description
A long-lived very light pseudoscalar boson would favor lepton flavor violating transitions of charged leptons. Its implications on the li→ljγγ and li→lje+e- transitions are investigated. Assuming that 2me<mφ<mμ, it is found that the inequality B(li→ljγγ)<B(li→lje+e-) holds. The experimental constraints on the decays li→ljγ, li→ljlklk, and li→ljγγ are used to bound the φlilj couplings
