We investigate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM), the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) and the lepton-flavour-violating decays of the $\tau-$lepton, $\tau \to \mu \gamma$ and $\tau\to 3\mu$, in the CP-violating Minimal…

The flavor-violating decay of a new neutral massive gauge boson $Z^\prime\to\mu e$ is analyzed in the context of extended models, in which this particle emerges. By means of the analysis of the $\mu\to e\gamma$ decay, $\mu-e$ conversion…

Recently, it has been proposed that the observed anomaly in the time distribution of neutrino induced reactions, reported by the KARMEN collaboration, can be interpreted as a signal from an exotic muon decay branch mu+ to e+ X. It has been…

We study the rare decays of charged \pi\ mesons, \pi+ to e+ e+ \mu- anti-\nu_\mu\ and \pi+ to e+ \mu- e+ \nu_e, induced by a sterile neutrino N with a mass in the range m_\mu < m_N < m_\pi. The first process violates Lepton Number by two…

In this work, we study the lepton number violating tau decays via intermediate on-shell Majorana neutrinos $N_j$ into two scalar mesons and a lepton $\tau^{\pm} \to M_1{}^{\pm} N_j \to M_1^{\pm} M_2^{\pm} \ell^{\mp}$. We calculate the…

When the Standard Model Higgs sector is extended with a complex singlet that breaks global lepton number symmetry spontaneously, a massless Goldstone boson called the Majoron J arises. In addition to increasing Higgs invisible decay through…
