We study a new class of flavor changing interactions, which can arise in models based on extended gauge groups (rank $>$4) when new charged fermions are present together with a new neutral gauge boson. We discuss the cases in which the…

Matter-enhanced antineutrino flavor transformation between $\bar\nu_e$ and $\bar\nu_{\mu(\tau)}$ can occur in supernovae if the vacuum masses for these species satisfy $m_{\bar\nu_e}>m_{\bar\nu_{\mu(\tau)}}$. For $\delta m^2> 1$ eV$^2$,…

We compute the muon to electron conversion in the type-I seesaw model, as a function of the right-handed neutrino mixings and masses. The results are compared with previous computations in the literature. We determine the definite…

Compared to $\mu \to e \gamma$ and $\mu \to e e e$, the process $\mu \to e$ conversion in nuclei receives enhanced contributions from Higgs-induced lepton flavor violation. Upcoming $\mu \to e$ conversion experiments with drastically…

Transforming a $\mu$ to a $\tau$, then the $\tau$ to to an $e$, results in $\mu \to e$. In an EFT framework, we explore the sensitivity of $\mu\to e$ observables to products of $(\mu\to \tau)\times (\tau \to e)$ interactions, and show that…

Exploring the leptonic sector in frontier experiments is more of importance nowadays, since the conservation of lepton flavor and total lepton number are not guaranteed anymore in the Standard Model after the discovery of neutrino…

We investigate the newly observed muon $g_\mu -2$ anomaly in the framework of a sequential fourth generation model with a heavy fourth neutrino, $\nu'$. We find that $g_\mu -2$ can exclude most values of $m_{\nu'}$ and put a very stringent…

We reexamine the constraints on mixing between electron and muon or tau neutrinos from shock-reheating and r-process nucleosynthesis in supernovae. To this end neutrino flavor evolution is described by nonlinear equations following from a…

We have studied lepton flavor violation processes $\mu\to e\gamma$ and $\mu-e$ conversion in nuclei induced by unparticle. Both ${\rm Br}(\mu\to e\gamma)$ and $\mu-e$ conversion rate ${\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Nuclei})$ strongly depend on the…

The flavour violating neutrinoless muon decays in the presence of nuclei, are discussed. We focus on the theoretical aspects of $\mu^-(A,Z)\to e^-(A,Z)^*$ (muon-to-electron conversion), one of the most prominent flavour changing reactions,…

We propose a new process of mu(-) e(-) -> e(-) e(-) in a muonic atom for a quest of charged lepton flavor violation. The Coulomb attraction from the nucleus in a heavy muonic atom leads to significant enhancement in its rate, compared to…
