Abstract

Motivated by the improving sensitivity, RR, of experiments on μ Tie Ti\mu~Ti \rightarrow e~Ti and the enhanced Higgs nucleon interaction, we study this lepton number violating process induced by Higgs exchange. Taking the possible sensitivity, R1016R \simeq 10^{-16}, we obtain the constraint on the Higgs-muon-electron vertex, κμe\kappa_{\mu e}, to be less than 2.4×1072.4\times10^{-7} if the masses of the Higgs scalar and WW gauge boson are the same. κμe\kappa_{\mu e} is also calculated for some models.
