In leptonic flavour models with discrete flavour symmetries, couplings between flavons and leptons can result in special flavour structures after they gain vacuum expectation values. At the same time, they can also contribute to the other…
Flavor symmetries are useful to realize fermion flavor structures in the standard model. In particular, discrete $A_4$ symmetry is used to realize lepton flavor structures, and some scalars which are called flavon are introduced to break…
We study low energy constraints from flavour violating processes, production and decay at the LHC of a scalar field varphi (flavon) associated to the breaking of a non-supersymmetric Abelian family symmetry at the TeV scale. This symmetry…
We analyze neutrino masses and Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) in charged leptons with a minimal ansatz about the breaking of the U(3)^5 flavor symmetry, consistent with the U(2)^3 breaking pattern of quark Yukawa couplings, in the context of…
The charged lepton flavour violating (LFV) radiative decays, $\mu\to e+\gamma$, $\tau\to \mu+\gamma$ and $\tau\to e +\gamma$ are investigated in a class of supersymmetric $A_4$ models with three heavy right-handed (RH) Majorana neutrinos,…
Two puzzling facts of our time are the observed patterns in the fermion masses and mixings and the existence of non-baryonic dark matter, which are both often associated with extensions of the Standard Model at higher energy scales. In this…
Lepton flavor violation (LFV), observed conclusively in neutrino oscillations, remains a pivotal area of investigation due to its absence in the Standard Model (SM). Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics explores charged lepton flavor…
We revisit the $A_4$ model for leptons in light of new result of NuFIT 3.2. We introduce a new flavon $\eta$ transforming as $A_4$ singlet $1'$ or $1"$ which couples to both charged leptons and neutrinos in next-leading order operators. The…
Apparent regularities in fermion masses and mixings are often associated with physics at a high flavor scale, especially in the context of discrete flavor symmetries. One of the main reasons for that is that the correct vacuum alignment…
The search for Flavons with a mass of $\mathcal{O}$(1) TeV at current and future colliders might probe low-scale flavor models. We are interested in the simplest model that invokes the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism with an Abelian flavor…
In neutrino physics, a class of models with local or global family symmetries may be invoked, and then a flavon field is needed to realize the full neutrino mixing. This flavon may shed light on the long-standing muon $g-2$ puzzle. In this…
We study two- and three-body lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays involving leptons and neutral vector bosons $V=\rho^0, \omega, \phi, J/\psi, \Upsilon, Z^0$, as well as pseudo-scalar $P=\pi^0, \eta, \eta', \eta_c$ and scalar $S=f_0(500),…
We study the implications of an approximate $U(2)^5$ flavor symmetry at the TeV scale, under the assumption of new physics predominantly coupled to the third-generation fermions, focusing on the breaking of the $U(2)_\ell$ subgroup…
We investigate the flavor violation (FV) of Z decays to leptons at tree level and flavor conserving Z decays to leptons in the frame work of the flipped $ SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X\otimes U(1)_N$,(F3311) model. In addition, we…
We consider lepton flavor violations (LFV) mediated by photino as a result of the nondiagonal slepton mass matrices in general supersymmetric models. Using the experimental upper bounds on l \to l' + gamma and mu^- + Ti \to e^- + Ti as…
We have already proposed a quark and lepton mass matrix model based on U(3)$\times$U(3)$'$ family symmetry as the so-called Yukawaon model, in which the U(3) symmetry is broken by VEVs of flavons $(\Phi_f)_i^{\ \alpha}$ which are $({\bf 3},…
We study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays Z-> l_i l_j (l_{i,j}=e,\mu,\tau) in the framework of the minimal 331 model. The main contributions arise at the one-loop level via a doubly charged bilepton with general LFV couplings. We…
In the ALP model, lepton flavor violation (LFV) can arise from off-diagonal ALP-lepton couplings ($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…
Recently Babu, Ma and Valle proposed a model of quark and lepton mixing based on $A_4$ symmetry. Within this model the lepton and slepton mixings are intimately related. We perform a numerical study in order to derive the slepton masses and…
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…
