Democratic (s)fermions and lepton flavor violation
This paper presents a novel alignment mechanism aimed at addressing the SUSY flavor problem by utilizing a democratic mass matrix framework. The discussion includes a comparison of this innovative approach with traditional mSUGRA models, focusing on fermionic mass generation, mixing patterns, and flavor violation processes. Key aspects of the mechanism include the suppression of flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) and the establishment of a coherent structure that explains lepton flavor violation (LFV) and the hierarchical mass spectra observed experimentally.

1.Motivation Two severe flavor puzzles in SUSY models 1. Fermion masses and mixing • Large mass hierarchy among charged fermions • Small quark mixing Large lepton mixing 2. SUSY flavor problem • Generic sfermion masses and mixing • Unacceptably large FCNC processes • Experimental constraints: for Mitsuru Kakizaki
Attempts to solve SUSY flavor problem • Fermion and sfermion mass puzzles are simultaneously solved • Measurement of FCNC processes and sfermion mass spectra Fermion mass generation mechanism may be revealed 1. Degeneracy: 2. Alignment: without degeneracy Thistalk Idea: High energy theory which controls flavor SUSY FCNC suppression Fermion masses and mixing Interesting points of alignment: Mitsuru Kakizaki
Purpose • Proposal of a new alignment mechanism based on the democratic mass matrix model, which explains neutrino bi-large mixing • Comparison between the alignment mechanism and conventional mSUGRA: • Mass spectra of sfermions • Charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) Mitsuru Kakizaki
2. Democratic mass matrix model [Harari—Haut--Weyers (1978); Koide (1983, 1989); Fritzsch--Xing (1995); Fukugita—Tanimoto--Yanagida(1998)] Idea: Equality of three generations • Charged lepton mass matrix sym.

New 3. Democratic sfermions [Hamaguchi--M. K.--Yamaguchi (2002)] Idea: Interactions between SUSY SM fields and hidden fields are also democratic • Kahler potential (Bilinear part of ): Hidden fields • Soft sfermion mass matrix: 3rd generation sfermion mass differs from first two generation masses Mitsuru Kakizaki
Sfermion mixing • Sfermion mass matrix in the superCKM basis: SUSY contributions to FCNCs are suppressed • Small generation mixing without universality Alignment is realized Democratic model solves SUSY flavor problem Mitsuru Kakizaki
Slepton masses • Left-handed slepton mass spectrum • Presence of democratic part in Kahler potential for Democratic part in neutrino mass matrix in canonical basis × Bi-large neutrino mixing requires universal form for Kahler potential for : Left-Left mixing vanishes • Right-handed slepton mass spectrum Small Right-Right mixing Mitsuru Kakizaki

Solution to CP violating FCNC problem • In the absence of Left-Left or Right-Right mixing CP violating squark generation mixing are suppressed Democratic model embedded in SU(5) GUT SU(5): Universal masses of right-handed sdowns and left-handed sleptons is required by bi-large neutrino mixing Mitsuru Kakizaki
