Probing 0νββ and μ → eγ via fully determined Dirac mass terms in LRSM with double seesaw
A bstract Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 νββ ) and charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) experiments provide promising avenues to probe new physics contributions from extended neutrino sectors in beyond Standard Model (BSM) scenarios. We consider a Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) extended with three generations of sterile neutrinos to realize a double type-I seesaw mechanism for light neutrino mass generation. The double seesaw induces maximal lepton number violation in the right-handed sector and facilitates enhanced Majorana masses for right-handed neutrinos, thereby leading to their dominant contributions in both cLFV and 0 νββ processes. We perform a comprehensive exploration of the parameter space for new-physics contributions to the cLFV decay μ → eγ and to 0 νββ , considering two different textures for the Dirac mass matrices: (i) a symmetry-motivated limit with M D ∝ 𝟙, and (ii) a texture fully determined by the model framework. A detailed analysis of the common parameter regions accessible to current experiments like KamLAND-Zen and LEGEND-200, and upcoming experiments, such as MEG-II and LEGEND-1000, is presented, underscoring the phenomenological relevance of this framework. Our results aim to provide optimistic benchmarks for future searches targeting right-handed current-mediated neutrino interactions.
