Lepton flavor violating processes such as μ⃗3e and μeγ are investigated with a supersymmetric Higgs triplet pair Δ and Δ̅ in light of neutrino masses and experimentally verifiable leptogenesis. The Higgs triplet mass MΔ is expected to be in the range of 1–100TeV. The branching ratios of these charged lepton decays are evaluated in terms of MΔ and the coupling fLΔL of the Higgs triplet Δ with lepton doublet pairs LL, which is proportional to the neutrino mass matrix. They may be reached in future collider experiments. In particular, the μ⃗3e decay would be observed indicating the existence of Higgs triplets with MΔ1–100TeV for |f|0.1–1, while the μeγ decay can be significant irrespective of MΔ in the supersymmetric model due to the flavor violation in the slepton mass matrices induced by the renormalization effects.
