Enhanced image conversion in nuclei in the inverse seesaw model Original Research Article

We investigate nuclear image conversion in the framework of an effective Lagrangian arising from the inverse seesaw model of neutrino masses. We consider lepton flavour violation interactions that arise from short range (non-photonic) as well as long range (photonic) contributions. Upper bounds for the image-parameters characterizing image conversion are derived in the inverse seesaw model Lagrangian using the available limits on the image conversion branching ratio, as well as the expected sensitivities of upcoming experiments. We comment on the relative importance of these two types of contributions and their relationship with the measured solar neutrino mixing angle image and the dependence on image. Finally we show how the image image conversion and the image rates are strongly correlated in this model.
