We address the impact of sterile fermions on the lepton flavor violating decays of quarkonia as well as of the Z boson.

We illustrate that feature in a specific minimal realization of the inverse seesaw mechanism, known as (2, 3)-ISS, and in an effective model in which the presence of nonstandard sterile fermions is parametrized by means of one heavy sterile (Majorana) neutrino.

Abstract
We address the impact of sterile fermions on the lepton flavor violating decays of quarkonia as well as of the Z boson. We compute the relevant Wilson coefficients and show that the B(V→αβ), where V=φ,ψ(n),(n),Z can be significantly enhanced in the case of large sterile fermion masses and a non-negligible active-sterile mixing. We illustrate that feature in a specific minimal realization of the inverse seesaw mechanism, known as (2, 3)-ISS, and in an effective model in which the presence of nonstandard sterile fermions is parametrized by means of one heavy sterile (Majorana) neutrino.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
