We propose a new type of lepton seesaw model introducing a modular $A_4$ flavor symmetry in which isospin doublet vector fermions play an important role in constructing seesaw mechanisms for both the charged-lepton mass matrix and the…

We calculate the one-loop renormalization group equations of the neutrino mass matrix when the Standard Model particle content is extended with a massive gauge boson which has family-dependent couplings to the left-handed leptons. We show…

A simple extension of Ma's approach in a scotogenic model is studied for the purpose of simultaneously interpreting the neutrino data and the excess of muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon $g-2$). The feasible minimal extension is to add an…

Many models on the market allow for particles carrying both lepton number and color, e.g., leptoquarks and leptogluons. Some of the models with this feature can also accommodate color-singlet leptohadrons. We have found that the…

Traditional analysis of $g=2(1+\kappa )$ experiments for charged leptons use a classical spin vector picture. For muons, we here employ a more exact Dirac quantum four component spinor theory. Survival probabilities (including wave packet…

We study the $K_L$ and $K_S$ decays into four leptons ($e\bar{e}e\bar{e}, \, \mu\bar{\mu}\mu\bar{\mu},\, e\bar{e}\mu\bar{\mu}$) where we use a form factor motivated by vector meson dominance, and show the dependence of the branching ratios…

The observed flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) processes in the standard model (SM) arise from the loop diagrams involving the weak charged currents mediated by the $W$-gauge boson. Nevertheless, the top-quark FCNCs and lepton-flavor…

The observed pattern of neutrino mixing may be the result of a 2-3($ \mu- \tau$) symmetry in the leptonic sector. We consider a two Higgs doublet model with a 2-3 symmetry in the down type quark and the charged lepton sector. The breaking…

Fermion mass matrices generally rotate in generation space under scale changes, which can lead to fermions of different generations transmuting into one another. The effect is examined in detail and its cross-section calculated for $\gamma…

In the L_{\mu} - L_{\tau} model the 3.6$\sigma$ discrepancy between the predicted and measured values of the anomalous magnetic moment of positive muons can be explained by the existence of a new dark boson Z' with a mass in the sub-GeV…

This paper addresses the role of Large Extra Dimensions in some flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) driven processes. In particular we have investigated radiative decays of charged leptons within models with only one universal extra…

We present the first detailed computation of the conversion of a bound muon into an electron mediated by a doubly charged $SU(2)$ singlet scalar. Although such particles are not too exotic, up to now their contribution to $\mu$-$e$…

The muon anomalous magnetic moment is investigated in the standard model with two Higgs doublets (S2HDM) motivated from spontaneous CP violation. Thus all the effective Yukawa couplings become complex. As a consequence of the non-zero phase…

We discuss a simple renormalisable, gauge invariant model with a fermiophobic $Z'$ boson: it has no couplings to the three Standard Model (SM) chiral families, but does couple to a fourth vector-like (VL) family. The SM Higgs couples to the…

The ongoing searches for Higgs-boson signals in data taken at the CERN LHC and the Fermilab Tevatron crucially rely on the decay channels H -> Z l l and H -> W l nu. We present a precision study of the partial widths of these decay channels…
