Lepton Flavor Violation at LHC
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) within the realm of the Standard Model is
forbidden. However recent neutrino experiments strongly suggest neutrino
oscillations, giving way to LFV. Beyond SM theories, such as supersymmetry and
supergravity also allow LFV. This note reviews the possibility of observing LFV
signal in the two general purpose LHC experiments: ATLAS and CMS. It is shown
that using the initial LHC luminosity, in about a year, either a discovery can
be made or the current LFV limits can be enhanced by an order of magnitude.Comment: for 40th moriond EW conf. proceedings, 7 pages, 3 figure
Fourth Family Neutrinos and the Higgs Boson
We evaluate the LHC discovery potential for the fourth family Standard Model
neutrinos in the process . We
show that, depending on their masses, the simultaneous discovery of both the
Higgs boson and the heavy neutrinos is probable at early stages of LHC
operation. Results are presented for both Majorana and Dirac type fourth family
neutrinos.Comment: 12 pages, uses axodraw.sty, v2: includes typo fixes, improved
