mu to 3e and mu to e Conversion in Gauge-Higgs Unification

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

The two dominant processes of lepton flavor violation, mu to 3e and mu to e conversion in atomic nuclei caused by neutral KK gauge boson exchanges at tree level, are studied in the context of five dimensional gauge-Higgs unification scenario. The key point of the flavor violation is a fact that the bulk masses and the brane ones cannot be simultaneously diagonalized. We estimate the branching ratio of each processes and obtain the lower bound of compactification scale around weak scale from the current experimental data. We discuss the reasons why the final result is not so severe although the large mixing in the lepton sector seems to give large lepton flavor violation processes.
