Since its discovery, the muon has proven to be an invaluable probe of the Standard Model (SM). Muons are readily available in tertiary beams in facilities around the world. They do not decay hadronically and have a lifetime of a few $\mu$…
We report on the first search for electron-muon lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the decay of a $b$~quark and $b$~antiquark bound state. We look for the LFV decay $\Upsilon (3S)\rightarrow e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ in a sample of 118~million…

New physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM) for neutrino mass mechanism often necessitate the existence of a neutral scalar $H$ and/or doubly-charged scalar $H^{\pm\pm}$, which couple to the SM charged leptons in a flavor violating…
We evaluate the size of a coupling for a lepton flavor violating interaction with neutrinos (nLFV) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos (MSSMRN). It is expected that the nLFV interactions are detected in…

In supersymmetric scenarios, the seesaw mechanism involving heavy right-handed neutrinos implies sizable lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the slepton sector. We discuss the potential of detecting LFV processes at the LHC in mSUGRA+seesaw…
Many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model often necessitate the existence of a (light) neutral scalar $H$, which might couple to the charged leptons in a flavor violating way, while evading all existing constraints. We show that…
An important prediction of the standard model is the universality of the gauge interactions of the three generation of charged leptons. Violation of this universality would be a clean evidence of new physics (NP) beyond the standard model.…
In the ALP model, lepton flavor violation (LFV) can arise from off-diagonal ALP-lepton couplings ($g_{a\ell_i\ell_j}$), which are absent in the Standard Model. We focus on ALP production via gluon fusion ($pp \to a$) at the Large Hadron…
Neutrino flavour oscillations imply that there must be charged lepton flavour violation (CLFV) also. Different neutrino mass models predict different patterns of CLFV decays. Neutrino mass generation through standard see-saw mechanisms…

The discovery of neutrino oscillation, proving that neutrinos do have masses, reveals the misfits of particles in the current Standard Model (SM) theory. In theory, neutrinos having masses could result in lepton flavour not being a symmetry…
