In this framework it is possible to predict testablerelations
among theLFV observables
in the charged sector and theneutrino
mass observables
. This allows to disentangle cases that initially were not distinguishable.Conclusions
Conclusions
● The flavour sector remains one of
the most puzzling legacies of the
SM. Family symmetries may help to
disentangle the origin masses and
mixing.
