Lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes are a smoking gun signal of new physics (NP). If the semileptonic $B$ decay anomalies are indeed due to some NP, such operators can potentially lead to LFV decays involving the second and the third…
In this work, we study the charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) decays $\tau-> \mu\gamma$, $\tau-> 3\mu$ and $Z->\mu\tau$ in the framework of the Supersymmetric economical 3-3-1 model. Analytic formulas for branching ratios (BR) of these…
Observation of charged lepton flavor violation would constitute unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). We identify a previously unexplored same-sign dimuon signature in electron-photon collisions, $\gamma e^- \to…
In models of maximal flavor violation (MxFV) there is at least one new scalar $\Phi_{FV}$ which couples to the quarks via $\Phi_{FV} q_i q_j \propto \xi_{ij}$ where $\xi_{i3},\xi_{3i} \sim V_{tb}$ for $i = 1,2$ and $\xi_{33} \sim V_{td}$…
