μ→e γ at a rate of one out of 10 9 muon decays? (original) (raw)

Abstract

It is proposed that lepton number conservation, purely left-handed charged weak currents and vanishing neutrino masses are a limiting case of a parity symmetric SU2 L × SU R × U2 V gauge theory. Right-handed neutrino acquire a lepton number violating mass, leaving an SU2 L × U1 subgroup unbroken. Consequence for the decay μ→e γ are studied.
