Abstract

We study the branching ratios of the lepton flavor violating processes mu --> e gamma, tau --> e gamma and tau --> mu gamma in the split fermion scenario, in the framework of the two-Higgs doublet model. We observe that the branching ratios are relatively more sensitive to the compactification scale and the Gaussian widths of the leptons in the extra dimensions, for two extra dimensions and especially for the tau --> mu gamma decay.
