Phys. Rev. D 59, 095012 (1999) [5 pages]Lepton number violation in top-color assisted technicolorReceived 11 November 1998; published 12 April 1999 We calculate the rates for lepton number violating processes via the exchange of the Z′ boson occurring in top-color assisted technicolor. We find that μ-e conversion in nuclei is about an order of magnitude better than μ⃗3e for constraining the magnitudes of the lepton mixing angles. The decay μ⃗eγ yields much weaker bounds. The current experimental limits allow for a mass of the new gauge boson around 1TeV and the magnitudes of the mixing angles turn out to lie roughly between the analogous elements of the CKM matrix and its square root. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
