On the Direct Detection of Dark Matter

family symmetries have led to successful predictions of the fermion mass spectrum and the mixing angles of the hadronic sector. In the context of the supersymmetric unified theories, they further imply a nontrivial mass structure for the scalar partners, giving rise to new sources of flavor violation. In the present work, lepton flavor nonconserving processes are examined in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model augmented by a

Further, various novel effects are considered and found to have important impact on the branching ratios. Thus, a rather interesting result is that when the seesaw mechanism is applied in the
