Mu2e and COMET will search for electrons produced via the neutrinoless conversion of stopped muons bound in 1s atomic orbits of $^{27}$Al, improving existing limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by roughly four orders of…
The ACME collaboration has recently announced a new constraint on the electron EDM, $|d_e| < 1.1 \times 10^{-29}\, e\, {\rm cm}$, from measurements of the ThO molecule. This is a powerful constraint on CP-violating new physics: even new…
We study the implications of a large nu_mu - nu_tau mixing angle on flavour changing transitions of quarks and leptons in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. Two patterns of supersymmetry breaking are considered, models with…
Lepton flavor-violating processes offer interesting possibilities to probe new physics at multi-TeV scale. We discuss those in the framework of effective field theory, emphasizing the role of gluonic operators. Those operators are obtained…

We consider the process $\mu \to \nu_{e}e\bar{\nu}_{\mu} $in the framework of a two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC). Since FCNC generates in turn flavor changing charged currents in the lepton sector, this…
We study the implications of the presence of the two leading-order, non-renormalizable operators in the Higgs sector of the MSSM to flavour physics observables. We identify the constraints of flavour physics on the parameters of the BMSSM…
We extend the effective theory of Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation (MLFV) by including four-lepton operators. We compute the rates for mu -> 3 e and tau -> 3 ell decays and point out several new ways to test the hypothesis of MLFV. We also…
The two dominant processes of lepton flavor violation, mu to 3e and mu to e conversion in atomic nuclei caused by neutral KK gauge boson exchanges at tree level, are studied in the context of five dimensional gauge-Higgs unification…
Non-commutative QED would lead to deviations from the Standard Model depending on a new energy scale Lambda_NC and a unique direction in space defined by two angles eta and xi. Here in this analysis eta is defined as the angle between the…
Effective operators provide a model-independent description of physics beyond the stan- dard model that is particularly useful given the absence of any signs of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We recast previous LHC analyses…
A set of renormalization invariants is constructed using approximate, two-flavor, analytic solutions for RGEs. These invariants exhibit explicitly the correlation between quark flavor mixings and mass ratios in the context of the SM, DHM…
The Mu2e and COMET $\mu \rightarrow e$ conversion experiments are expected to significantly advance limits on new sources of charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV). Almost all theoretical work in the field has focused on just two operators.…
The flavour violating neutrinoless muon decays in the presence of nuclei, are discussed. We focus on the theoretical aspects of $\mu^-(A,Z)\to e^-(A,Z)^*$ (muon-to-electron conversion), one of the most prominent flavour changing reactions,…
We demonstrate the potential of forthcoming mu -> e gamma and mu-e conversion experiments to implicate or disfavor solutions to the gauge hierarchy problem before the advent of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Solutions of dynamical…
Maxwell theory can be studied in a gauge which is invariant under conformal rescalings of the metric, and first proposed by Eastwood and Singer. This paper studies the corresponding quantization in flat Euclidean 4-space. The resulting…

We discuss scenarios for BSM physics near the TeV, motivated by the hierarchy problem and the flavour puzzle, and review their experimental tests at present and future colliders. Strong LHC constraints on couplings to light quarks motivate…
Within framework of the $\mu$ from $\nu$ Supersymmetric Standard Model ($\mu\nu$SSM), three exotic right-handed neutrino superfields induce new sources for lepton-flavor violation. In this work, we investigate muon conversion to electron in…
We develop a "precision-ready", model-independent EFT framework that connects general leptophilic gauge interactions to their low-energy manifestations in SMEFT and LEFT. Starting from a broad U(1)'_ell extension in which leptons carry…
