Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillation and Large Lepton-Flavour Violation in the SUSY SU(5) GUT

Abstract

The atmospheric neutrino anomaly reported by the super-Kamiokande collaboration suggests existence of a large flavour violating Yukawa coupling in the lepton sector. We discuss lepton-flavour violation at low energies in the framework of the supersymmetric SU(5)GUT model with right-handed neutrinos. We find that for a wide range of parameter space suggested from the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, if the tau-neutrino Yukawa coupling is as large as that of top quark, lower bounds of the branching ratios of mu -> e gamma, tau -> mu gamma, and the mu-e conversion rate on 4822Ti become around 10-14, 10-9, and 10-16, respectively. These reaction rates may be in the region accessible by near future experiments.
