Abstract
In the supersymmetric seesaw model, large flavor mixings of sleptons induce the
lepton flavor violating (LFV) interactions
(
), which give rise to various LFV processes. In this work we examine the LFV
decays
. Subject to the constraints from the existing
neutrino oscillation data and the experimental bounds on the decays
, these LFV
Z-decays are found to be sizable, and among
them the largest-rate channel
can occur with a branching
ratio of
10-8 and may be accessible at the LHC or GigaZ experiment.
