K{sup {plus_minus}}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup {minus_plus}}{mu}{sup {plus_minus}}{mu}{sup {plus_minus}} and doubly charged Higgs bosons
- Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 3P6 (CANADA)
The rate for the lepton-number-violating decay K{sup {plus_minus}}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup {minus_plus}}{mu}{sup {plus_minus}}{mu}{sup {plus_minus}} is calculated in a model which incorporates doubly charged Higgs bosons. We find that for reasonable values of the parameters the decay branching ratio may be as large as 2{times}10{sup {minus}16}. Although this is a discouragingly small number, it is of the same order of magnitude as the rate mediated by massive Majorana neutrinos. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
