## TL;DR

This paper investigates lepton flavor violation in supersymmetric models with non-universal scalars, analyzing experimental implications, predictions, and the impact of different neutrino hierarchies and mixing scenarios.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive numerical analysis of LFV processes in a SUSY type-I seesaw model with non-universal Higgs parameters, including full 2-loop RG effects and experimental projections.

## Key findings

- Natural SUSY with a normal sneutrino hierarchy is excluded by current experiments.
- Large PMNS-like mixing scenarios are largely testable by upcoming LFV experiments.
- Small CKM-like mixing scenarios remain below projected experimental sensitivities.

## Abstract

Right-handed neutrinos in supersymmetric models can act as the source of lepton flavor violation (LFV). We present experimental implications of lepton flavor-violating processes within a supersymmetric type-I seesaw framework in the three-extra-parameter non-universal Higgs model (NUHM3) for large (PMNS-like) and small (CKM-like) Yukawa mixing scenarios. We highlight LFV predictions for the natural (low $\Delta_{\rm EW}$) portion of parameter space. Our numerical analysis includes full 2-loop renormalization group running effects for the three neutrino masses and mass matrices. We show the projected discovery reach of various LFV experiments ($\textit{i.e.}$ Mu2e, Mu3e, MEG-II, Belle-II), and specify regions that have already been excluded by the LHC searches. Our results depend strongly on whether one has a normal sneutrino hierarchy (NSH) or an inverted sneutrino hierarchy (ISH). Natural SUSY with a NSH is already excluded by MEG-2013 results while large portions of ISH have been or will soon be tested. However, LFV processes from natural SUSY with small Yukawa mixing and an ISH seem below any projected sensitivities. A substantial amount of the remaining parameter space of models with large PMNS-like sneutrino mixing will be probed by Mu2e and MEG-II experiments whereas small, CKM-like Yukawa mixing predicts LFV decays which can hide from LFV experiments.
