Lepton-flavor violation via right-handed neutrino Yukawa couplings in the supersymmetric standard model.

Various lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) processes in the supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets are investigated in detail. It is shown that large LFV rates are obtained when $tan\ensuremath{\beta}$ is large. In the case where the mixing matrix in the lepton sector has a similar structure as the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and the third-generation Yukawa coupling is as large as that of the top quark, the branching ratios can be as large as $B(\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}e\ensuremath{\gamma})\ensuremath{\simeq}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}11}$ and $B(\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\gamma})\ensuremath{\simeq}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$, which are within the reach of future experiments. If we assume a large mixing angle solution to the atmospheric neutrino problem, the rate for the process $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ becomes larger. We also discuss the difference between our case and the case of the minimal SU(5) grand unified theory.
