Nondiagonal charged lepton Yukawa matrix: Effects on neutrino mixing in supersymmetry

Abstract: Generally the diagonalization of the mass matrix of the charged leptons is a part of the neutrino U P MN S matrix. However, usually this contribution is ignored by assuming a diagonal mass matrix for charged leptons. In this letter we test this common assumption in the context of neutrino physics.Our analytical and numerical results for two supersymmetric models reveal that such a simplification is not justified. Especially for the solar and reactor mixing angles important modifications are found.

“…In general, the PMNS matrix is a product of the matrix which diagonalizes the neutrino mass matrix and the corresponding matrix for the charged leptons, in analogy with the CKM matrix, see reference [85] for example. In the MSSM, the charged leptons can be taken to be diagonal without loss of generality.…”

“…In Split-SUSY with BRpV, a possible way to account for a tree level solar mass is the introduction of a dimension-5 operator that gives a mass term to the neutrinos after the Higgs field acquires a vev [33,61,62]. This operator may come from an unknown quantum theory of gravity.…”

“…One way to fix this problem would be the inclusion of a gravity motivated term to the neutrino mass matrix [13]. A different approach is to keep two Higgs doublets light with all the sfermions masses at a high scale, scenario known as Partial Split Supersymmetry (PSS) [14][15][16]. In this scenario, despite the fact that the lightest neutralino is unstable due to the presence of BRpV, the gravitino is a viable dark matter candidate [17,18].…”
