In light of recent results from the LHC, MEG and neutrino experiments, we revisit the issue of charged lepton flavour violation (LFV) in supersymmetric theories with massive neutrinos, where flavour-violating soft supersymmetry-breaking…

The CMS collaboration has reported a possible lepton flavour violating (LFV) signal $h\to\mu\tau$. Whereas this does not happen in the standard model (SM), we point out that new physics responsible for this type of decay would, in general,…

We estimate that the LHC could set bounds BR(Z -> mu^\pm e^\mp) < 4.1 * 10^{-7} and BR(Z -> tau^\pm mu^\mp)< 3.5 * 10^{-6} (at 95% C.L.) with 20 inverse fb of data at 8 TeV. A similar sensitivity can be anticipated for Z -> tau^\pm e^\mp,…

We report on the first searches for lepton flavour violating $\tau^-$ decays at a hadron collider. These include searches for the lepton flavour violating decay $\tau^-\to \mu^+\mu^-\mu^-$ and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating…

In this work we study the Lepton Flavour Violating semileptonic $\tau$ decays: 1) $\tau \to \mu PP$ with $PP= \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0, K^+K^-, K^0 {\bar K}^0$; 2) $\tau \to \mu P$ with $P=\pi^0, \eta, \eta'$ and 3) $\tau \to \mu V$ with $V =…

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 consider lepton flavour violating decays of the top quark, mediated by four-fermion operators. We compile constraints on a complete set of SU(3)*U(1)-invariant operators, arising from their loop contributions to rare decays and from…

The minimal type-I seesaw model provides a simple explanation of neutrino flavor oscillations and induces charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV). Despite extensive previous studies, semileptonic cLFV channels remain underexplored. Using…

Motivated by flavour symmetry models, we construct theories based on a low-energy limit featuring lepton flavour triality that have the flavour-violating decays $\tau^\pm \to \mu^\pm \mu^\pm e^\mp$ and $\tau^\pm \to e^\pm e^\pm \mu^\mp$ as…

We consider the Higgs Lepton Flavor Violating process $h \rightarrow \tau \mu$, in which CMS found a $2.5 \sigma$ excess of events, from a model independent perspective, and find that it is difficult to generate this operator without also…

We investigate the prospects for the observation of lepton flavor violation (LFV) within the nonholomorphic supersymmetric standard model (NHSSM). We examine charged lepton flavor-violating (cLFV) decays such as such $\mu \rightarrow e…

We briefly review flavour violation in the lepton sector: starting from neutrino oscillations and their implications, we consider several charged lepton flavour violating observables at high and low energies. We present new physics models…

Charged lepton flavor violation is forbidden in the Standard Model but possible in several new physics scenarios. In many of these models, the radiative decays $\tau^{\pm}\rightarrow\ell^{\pm}\gamma$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) are predicted to have a…

The most general supersymmetric seesaw mechanism has too many parameters to be predictive and thus can not be excluded by any measurements of lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes. We focus on the simplest version of the type-I seesaw…

A phenomenological study for determining the chirality structure in lepton-flavor-violating Higgs (hLFV) decays $h \to \tau\mu$ at the LHC is presented. We estimate the effects of the $\tau$ polarization in the analysis andthe importance of…

We calculate the decay of $\tau^-\to\pi^-\gamma\nu_\tau$ in the framework of Resonance Chiral Theory ($R\chi T$). By demanding the high energy constraints from QCD on the related form factors, we could predict the various physical…

If the LHC experiments discover new particles that couple to the Standard Model fermions, then measurements by ATLAS and CMS can contribute to our understanding of the flavor puzzles. We demonstrate this statement by investigating a…

We study lepton flavour violating decays of neutralinos and sleptons within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, assuming two and three generation mixings in the slepton sector. We take into account the most recent bounds on flavour…

Till today lepton flavor violation has not been observed in processes involving charged leptons. Hence, a search for it is under hot pursuit both in theories and experiments. In our current work, we investigate the rates of rare decay…

Here we update the predictions for lepton flavour violating tau and muon decays, $l_j \to l_i \gamma$, $l_j \to 3 l_i$, and $\mu-e$ conversion in nuclei. We work within a SUSY-seesaw context where the particle content of the Minimal…
