We evaluate the size of a coupling for a lepton flavor violating interaction with neutrinos (nLFV) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos (MSSMRN). It is expected that the nLFV interactions are detected in…
Flavor violating processes in the lepton sector have highly suppressed branching ratios in the standard model. Thus, observation of lepton flavor violation (LFV) constitutes a clear indication of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). We…
In supersymmetric (SUSY) models the misalignment between fermion and sfermion families introduces unsuppressed flavor-changing processes. Even if the mass parameters are chosen to give no flavor violation, family dependent radiative…

We carry out a systematic analysis of flavor mixing and CP violation in the conceptually interesting limit where two quarks or leptons of the same charge are degenerate in mass. We pay some particular attention to the impact of neutrino…
Neutrino flavor mixing is discussed in terms of two-component coupled left-handed flavor fields. This is to take into account the fact that the weak interaction couples only to left-handed fields. The flavor fields are written through a…
In the recent years neutrino experiments have studied in detail the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations and most of the oscillation parameters have been measured with a good accuracy. However, in spite of many interesting ideas, the problem…
We investigate lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the the singlet-triplet scotogenic model in which neutrinos acquire non-zero masses at the 1-loop level. In contrast to the most popular variant of this setup, the singlet scotogenic model,…
Charged lepton flavour violation is reappraised in the context of supersymmetric see-saw mechanism. It is pointed out that a non-trivial flavour structure of right-handed neutrinos, whose effect has been thus far less studied, can give rise…
In this review article, we highlight the impact of models incorporating flavour symmetries on charged lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes. Flavour symmetries provide a natural approach to explain the peculiar mass hierarchies and…
Low energy neutrinoless lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes are studied in an extension of the Standard Model (SM) by heavy SU(2)xU(1) singlet Dirac neutrinos. An upper bound procedure is elaborated for the evaluation of amplitudes. A…
After confirmation of massiveness and mixing of neutrinos, by neutrino oscillation data, the origin of neutrino mass and the occurrence of charged-lepton-flavor non-conservation in nature have become two main objectives for the physics of…
If neutrino mass and mixing consistent with the neutrino oscillation data are the only source of lepton flavor violation (LFV)in nature, the other LFV decays like the radiative and semileptonic decays would be too small to be observed…
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the Yukawa and/or mass terms of the heavy neutrinos can generate lepton flavour violating slepton mass terms. These new supersymmetric sources of lepton flavour violation may both enhance…
Hints of violation of lepton flavor universality in semileptonic $B$ decays have prompted a renewed interest in leptoquarks at the low TeV scale. Among the different scenarios suggested, some happen to violate also lepton number, yet not…
We examine relation between neutrino oscillation parameters and prediction of lepton flavor violation, in light of deviations from tri-bimaximal mixing. Our study shows that upcoming experimental searches for lepton flavor violation process…

Charged-current neutrino processes such as $\nu_e + n \rightleftharpoons p + e^-$ and $\bar\nu_e + p \rightleftharpoons n + e^+$ destroy the flavor coherence among the weak-interaction states of a single neutrino and thus damp its flavor…
