We calculate the inclusive decay width of $\Upsilon \to l^+ l^-$. Then we get the ratio $R_{\tau\mu}=\Gamma[\Upsilon \to \tau^+\tau^-]/ \Gamma[\Upsilon \to \mu^+\mu^-]$ to ${\cal{O}}(\alpha)$ and ${\cal{O}}(\alpha_s^2)$ within the Standard…
We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…
We will show that the 3-3-1 model with new heavy right handed neutrinos as $SU(3)_L$ singlets can explain simultaneously the lepton flavor violating decays of the SM-like Higgs boson, charged lepton flavor violating decays $e_b\rightarrow…
We present studies in bottomonium spectroscopy carried out with samples of $(98\pm1)$ million $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $(121\pm1)$ million $\Upsilon(3S)$ events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider…
This paper presents direct searches for lepton flavour violation in Higgs boson decays, $H\rightarrow e\tau$ and $H\rightarrow\mu\tau$, performed using data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are based on a data…
In the framework of the flipped 3-3-1 model introduced recently [1], the lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) decay $\mu \rightarrow 3e$ was predicted to have a large branching ratio (Br) close to the recent experimental limit. We will show that…
We propose a search at Mu3e for lepton flavor violating axion(-like) particles in $\mu\to 3e + a$ decays. By requiring an additional $e^+e^-$ pair from internal conversion, one can circumvent the calibration challenges which plague the $\mu…
We explore the discovery potential for lepton flavor-violating Higgs boson decays, $h \to \ell_i \ell_j$ ($\ell_i \neq \ell_j$; $\ell = e, \mu, \tau$), in proton-proton collisions. The analysis is performed within a Froggatt-Nielsen…
Run-I results from the CMS collaboration show an excess of events in the decay $h \to \mu \tau_e$ with a local significances of 2.4$\sigma$. This could be the first hint of flavour violation in the Higgs sector. We summarise the bounds on…
We study lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in two models, with the recently found hint for Higgs $\to \mu \tau$ at CMS as a benchmark value for the branching ratio. The first model uses the discrete flavor symmetry group $A_4$, broken at…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics was finalized in its current form in the mid-1970s, and has been extensively tested and confirmed ever since, with the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 being the last missing piece. While no…
Exotic Higgs decays are promising channels to discover new physics in the near future. We present a simple model with a new light scalar that couples to the Standard Model through a charged lepton-flavor violating interaction. This can…
The scale of low energy c-cbar and b-bbar cross sections on light hadrons is of great importance to searches for the quark gluon plasma using the heavy-quarkonium suppression signature. Unfortunately, little is known about these…
We explore scalar dark matter that is part of a lepton flavor triplet satisfying symmetry requirements under the hypothesis of minimal flavor violation. Beyond the standard model, the theory contains in addition three right-handed neutrinos…
We study the impact of heavy vector-like leptons on several observables in collider and low-energy physics. These states, present in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model, can induce lepton flavour violation and non-standard…
We constrain some lepton flavor violating vertices in the context of the two Higgs doublet model type III, assuming that the lightest scalar Higgs mass $% m_{h^{0}} $is about $115 $GeV. Specifically, based on the $g-2 $muon factor and the…
A search for the lepton-flavor violating decays $B^0_s\to\phi\mu^\pm\tau^\mp$ is presented, using a sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a…
Several new-physics (NP) models predict the existence of low-mass Higgs states and light dark matter candidates. Previous BABAR searches have given null results for these new states and have excluded large regions of the NP models parameter…
We assess the impact of searches at flavor factories for new neutral resonances that couple to both photons and gluons. These are well motivated by "heavy axion" solutions of the strong CP problem and by frameworks addressing both Dark…
With a sample of about 384 million BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector, we search for the flavor-changing charged current transition B+ -> \tau\nu and perform an amplitude analysis of the effective flavor-changing neutral current…
