Differentiating Neutrino Models on the Basis of $\theta_{13}$ and Lepton Flavor Violation

Abstract

We show how models of neutrino masses and mixings can be differentiated on the basis of their predictions for $\theta_{13}$ and lepton flavor violation in radiative charged lepton decays and $\mu - e$ conversion. We illustrate the lepton flavor violation results for five predictive SO(10) SUSY GUT models and point out the relative importance of their heavy right-handed neutrino mass spectra and $\theta_{13}$ predictions.
