Abstract

We suggest that e→ μ conversion in low-energy electron-nucleus scattering is a new and potentially observable indirect signal of supersymmetry and should be searched for in experiment. We estimate the rate for this process in a straightforward calculation taking into account the existing constraint from non-observation of the μ→ eγ decay and find the cross-section to be σ< 10-8 fb.
