Abstract
In this research, we propose a modified version of the 3-3-1 model, incorporating a type-I+II seesaw mechanism and \(Z_{4}\) discrete symmetry, as a framework for investigating lepton flavor-violating (LFV) decays. This model successfully yields the left-handed neutrino’s mass square differences in the eV scale, with specific values \(\Delta m_{21}^{2}=7.12\times 10^{-5}~eV^{2},\)\(\Delta m_{31}^{2}=2.55\times 10^{-3}~eV^{2}\), and generates mixing angles \(\sin ^{2}\theta _{12}=0.304,~\sin ^{2}\theta _{23}=0.595~\)and \(\sin ^{2} \theta _{13}=2.15\times 10^{-2}\) that align with experimental data. Furthermore, we develop SARAH and SPheno (Comput. Phy. Commun. 185, 1773, 2014) algorithms tailored for our modified model, enabling us to estimate the magnitude of LFV observables. Our calculations indicate favorable results for various LFV branching ratios, including \(Br(\mu \rightarrow e\gamma )=7.82\times 10^{-20},\)\(Br(\tau \rightarrow e\gamma )=3.66\times 10^{-22},\)\(Br(\tau \rightarrow \mu \gamma )=1.03\times 10^{-19},\)\(Br(\tau \rightarrow eee)=3.97\times 10^{-12},\)\(Br(\tau \rightarrow \mu \mu \mu )=1.33\times 10^{-12},\)\(Br(\tau \rightarrow \mu ee)=8.89\times 10^{-13}\). These findings demonstrate improved agreement with experimental measurements compared to previously reported results, which typically fall within the range of \(10^{-2}\) to \(10^{-6}\).
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Physics is a peer-reviewed international journal published by the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF). The journal publishes new and original research results from all areas of physics, obtained in Brazil and from anywhere else in the world. Contents include theoretical, practical and experimental papers as well as high-quality review papers. Submissions should follow the generally accepted structure for journal articles with basic elements: title, abstract, introduction, results, conclusions, and references.
