Abstract

In this study, we analyse the lepton flavor violation (LFV) decays within the framework of the Doublet Left-Right Symmetric model (DLRSM), based on the gauge group SU\left(2\right)_{L}\otimes SU\left(2\right)_{R}\otimes U\left(1\right)_{B-L}. The model features an extended gauge and scalar sector, including a bidoublet and two doublets which induce new charged currents interactions. Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) occurs in two stages, introducing a new scale associated with the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the right-handed doublet v_{R} assumed to lie above the electroweak scale. Neutrino masses are generated via the inverse seesaw mechanism, allowing sizeable mixing between active and sterile neutrinos. We diagonalize the full neutrino mass matrix and express the mixing in terms of physical parameters. We compute the branching ratios for LFV Higgs decays as functions of the heavy neutrino mass scale. Our numerical analysis incorporates current experimental bounds and projected sensitivities, highlighting viable regions of parameter space where LFV signals could be observed at future colliders.
