THE LEPTON FLAVOR VIOLATING DECAYS Z→li lj IN THE SIMPLEST LITTLE HIGGS MODEL

Abstract

In the simplest little Higgs model the new flavor-changing interactions between heavy neutrinos and the Standard Model leptons can generate contributions to some lepton flavor violating decays of Z-boson at one-loop level, such as Z→τ±μ∓, Z→τ±e∓ and Z→μ±e∓. We examine the decay modes and find that the branching ratios can reach 10-7 for the three decays, which should be accessible at the GigaZ option of the ILC.
