We explore the possibilities for extending the sensitivity of current searches for the charged lepton flavor violating decays $\mu\ -> e \gamma$ and $\mu\ -> eee$. A future facility such as Project X at Fermilab could provide a much more…

We examine the muon's electric dipole moment $\dmu$ from a variety of theoretical perspectives. We point out that the reported deviation in the muon's g-2 can be due partially or even entirely to a new physics contribution to the muon's…

Within the Standard Model, in spite of neutrino oscillations, the flavor of charged leptons is conserved in very good approximation, and therefore charged Lepton Flavor Violation is expected to be unobservable. On the other hand, most new…

We review how the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g-2$) and the quest for lepton flavor violation are intimately correlated. Indeed the decay $\mu \to e \gamma$ is induced by the same amplitude for different choices of in- and outgoing…

Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations it is known that lepton flavour is not conserved. Lepton flavour violating processes in the charged lepton sector have so far however eluded detection; as they are heavily suppressed in the…

The experimental status of charged lepton flavor violation searches is briefly reviewed, with particular emphasis on the three classical searches involving muon transisions: $\mu \to e \gamma$, $\mu \to e$ conversion and $\mu \to 3e$.
