Quark and lepton flavor physics presents us with a basic question: Can we understand the pattern of masses and mixings of the known quarks and leptons, and how do present and proposed measurements help to advance that goal? Topics discussed…
Charged lepton flavour violating processes are unobservable in the standard model, but they are predicted to be enhanced in several new physics extensions. We present the results of a search for $\Upsilon (2S)$ and $\Upsilon (3S)$ decays to…
Charged lepton flavor violating processes are forbidden in the standard model (SM), hence the observation of charged lepton flavor transitions would represent a clear signal of new physics beyond the standard Model. In this work, we…
We search for the lepton flavor-violating "tau -> mu gamma" decay using 29.7 million tau pairs accumulated by the Belle experiment. The main background sources are found to be tau pairs with "tau -> mu nu nu" decay and radiative dimuon…

We discuss sensitivities to lepton flavor violating (and conserving) interactions at future muon colliders, especially at $\mu^+\mu^+$ colliders. Compared with the searches for rare decays of $\mu$ and $\tau$, we find that the TeV-scale…
We search for lepton-flavor-violating and lepton-number-violating tau decays into a lepton (l = electron or muon) and two charged mesons (h, h' = pion or Kaon) using 854 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
The leptonic branching fractions of the tau lepton are sensitive to anomalous charged current interactions. We use recent experimental measurements to determine the weak charged current magnetic and electric dipole moments and the Michel…
In this work the following lepton flavor violating $\tau$ and $\mu$ decays are studied: $\tau^- \to \mu^- \mu^- \mu^+$, $\tau^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\mu^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\tau^- \to \mu^- \gamma$, $\tau^- \to e^- \gamma$ and $\mu^- \to e^-…
In this work we compute all relevant contributions stemming from the economical 3-3-1 model to the muon magnetic moment and the lepton flavor violation decay $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$. Using the current bounds on these phenomena, we derive…
We present the first direct search for lepton flavour violating muon decay mediated by a new light particle X, $\mu^+ \to \mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{X} \to \gamma\gamma$. This search uses a dataset resulting from $7.5\times 10^{14}$…
Lepton flavor violation is one of the cleanest probes of physics beyond the standard model. In this work, we explore the sensitivity of the process $e^+ e^- \to \tau \mu$ to new physics above the TeV scale at the proposed circular…
Heavy charged particles after nuclear muon capture are an important nuclear physics background to the muon-to-electron conversion experiments Mu2e and COMET, which will search for charged lepton flavor violation at an unprecedented level of…
We compute the electromagnetic form factors of the $l_i l_j \gamma$ vertex at one-loop level in the minimal G2HDM which has a sub-GeV vector dark matter candidate. The results are applied to the radiative decay rates for the charged lepton…
In the Standard Model (SM), charged lepton flavor-violating (LFV) processes are strictly forbidden, and thus observation of LFV would signal the presence of new physics. Recently, the Muon $g{-}2$ collaboration at Fermilab reported their…
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…
Charged lepton flavor violating processes are unobservable in the standard model, but they are predicted to be enhanced in several extensions to the standard model, including supersymmetry and models with leptoquarks or compositeness. We…
This note presents an analysis of lepton-flavour-violating muon decays within the framework of a low-energy effective field theory that contains higher-dimensional operators allowed by QED and QCD symmetries. The decay modes $\mu\to e…
A search for the lepton-flavor violating $\mu^{+}\rightarrow e^{+}\gamma$ decay using polarized muons is proposed. By measuring the angular distribution of $e^{+}$s with respect to the muon spin direction, in particular antiparallel…
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…
