Lepton flavor violation (LFV) is studied within a realistic unified framework, based on supersymmetric SO(10) or an effective G(224) = SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times SU(4)^c symmetry, that successfully describes (i) fermion masses and mixings,…

We shortly review and emphasize how l_j -> l_i gamma experiments and the searches for lepton e.d.m. are constraining New Physics model building. They are pure signals of new phenomena around the TeV scale since the SM contributions are…
Considering the constraints from the experimental data on $\mu\rightarrow e\gamma$, $\mu\rightarrow3e$, $\mu-e$ conversion etc., we analyze the Lepton Flavor Violating decays $\phi(J/\Psi,\Upsilon(1S)) \rightarrow e^+\mu^-(\mu^+\tau^-)$ in…
An analysis is given of the decay $\mu \to e+ \gamma$ in an MSSM extension with a vectorlike generation. Here mixing with the mirrors allows the possibility of this decay. The analysis is done at the one loop level with the exchange of…

Lepton flavor violating decays $\ell_{\alpha} \to \ell_{\beta} \gamma$, being forbidden in the Standard Model framework, provide a sensitive probe for new physics. We study these processes in a seesaw variant in which small neutrino masses…
A search for the lepton flavour violating decay tau -> mu gamma has been performed using 221.4/fb of data collected at an e+e- centre-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring. The search has an…
The pursuit for the genuine fundamental description, governing nature at some high-energy scale, must invariably consider the yet-unknown mechanism behind the generation of neutrino mass. Lepton-flavor violating decays $l_\alpha\to…
In this paper, we study the lepton flavor violating decays of the $l_j\rightarrow l_i \gamma\gamma$ (j=2, 3; i=1, 2) processes under the $U(1)_X$SSM. The $U(1)_X$SSM is the addition of three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed…
In the framework of the seesaw models with triplets of fermions, we evaluate the decay rates of $\mu \to e \gamma$ and $\tau \to l \gamma$ transitions. We show that although, due to neutrino mass constraints, those rates are in general…

The Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) processes $\mu \to e \gamma$ and $\tau \to \mu \gamma$ are estimated in a model of electroweak-scale right-handed neutrinos. The present bounds on the branching ratios, $B(\mu \to e \gamma)< 1.2 \times…
Neutrino masses provide evidence of lepton flavour violation, but no violation in the interactions among the charged leptons has been observed yet. Many models of Physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) predict Charged Lepton Flavour…
We study lepton flavor violating analogs of the photoelectric effect, with a final $\mu$ or $\tau$ instead of an electron: $\gamma e\to \mu$ and $\gamma e\to \tau$. On the basis of the general parametrization of the matrix element of the…
We estimate the rates of lepton flavor violating decays of the vector mesons $\rho, \omega, \phi \to e \mu$. The theoretical tools are based on an effective Lagrangian approach without referring to any specific realization of the physics…
We consider low-energy tests of low-scale leptogenesis based on the type I seesaw scenario with three right-handed singlet neutrinos $\nu_{l R}$. In this scenario, successful leptogenesis is possible for quasi-degenerate in mass heavy…
Motivated by the recent muon $g-2$ data, we study the lepton flavor violating $l \to l' \gamma$ and $Z \to l \bar l'$ ($l, l' = e, \mu, \tau$) decays with $l \neq l'$ in a scalar leptoquark model. Leptoquarks can produce sizable LFV $l\to…
