Abstract

We argue that radiative lepton flavor violating (RLFV) decays Pγ12P \to \gamma \ell_1 \overline{\ell}_2 of P=Bq0P =B^0_q, Dˉ0\bar{D}^0, and K0K^0 meson states are robust probes of new physics models. In particular, they could be used to put constraints on the Wilson coefficients of effective operators describing lepton flavor-changing neutral current interactions at low energy scales. We set up a generic framework for describing these transitions and review new physics constraints from P1ˉ2P \to \ell_1 \bar \ell_2 decays. There is discussion of how RLFV transitions provide access to the operators that cannot be constrained in two-body decays and we in turn motivate further experimental searches via these channels.
