There has been a steady interest in flavor anomalies and their global fits as ideal probes of new physics. If the anomalies are real, one promising explanation is a new $Z'$ gauge boson with flavor-changing coupling to bottom and strange…
Recent data from the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN give a hint of possible violation of flavor in the leptonic decays of the Higgs boson. In this work we analyze the flavor violating leptonic decays $H^0_1\to…
The muon $g-2$ anomaly is a long-standing discrepancy from its standard model prediction. The recent improved measurement of the fine structure constant makes the electron $g-2$ anomaly very interesting for both sign and magnitude in…
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…
A review of the experimental status in searches for charged Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) is presented. Searches for LFV in decays of leptons, heavy mesons, and bosons are explored, with an emphasis on the experiments providing the best…
We propose a search at Mu3e for lepton flavor violating axion(-like) particles in $\mu\to 3e + a$ decays. By requiring an additional $e^+e^-$ pair from internal conversion, one can circumvent the calibration challenges which plague the $\mu…
Recent hints for lepton-universality violation in $b\to c\ell\nu$ and $b\to s\ell\ell$ transitions could imply the existence of lepton-flavour violating $b$ decays. The LHCb experiment is well suited for the search for these decays due to…
In this paper, we propose two novel signatures of Higgs decays to search for electron-muon flavor violation. These signatures arise from the presence of a light pseudoscalar into which the 125-GeV Higgs boson decays. The pseudoscalar…
In the context of flavor-universal topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) models, we calculate the lepton flavor violating (LFV) $Z\to l_il_j$ decays. We find that the extra U(1) gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$ can give significant contributions to…
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^-…
We consider an effective nondiagonal coupling $H\bar{\mu}\tau$ and present the analysis of the Higgs boson mediated lepton-flavor violating (LFV) reaction $\mu^-\mu^+ --> \mu \tau$. For a Higgs boson mass around 115 GeV and convenient…
The discrepancy between the measured value and the Standard Model prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment is one of the most important issues in the particle physics. It is known that introducing a mediator boson X with the $\mu…
Two topics have recently risen to prominence within the ongoing searches of beyond-Standard Model effects in $b$ and $c$ decays: observables that test lepton flavor universality (LFU) as well as lepton flavor violation (LFV). A coherent set…
We investigate the lepton flavor violation decays, $\tau \to \mu\gamma$, $\tau \to e\gamma$ and $\mu \to e\gamma$, in the framwork of a squential fourth generation model with a heavy fourth neutrino, $\nu'$. Using the recent experimental…
We consider supersymmetric (SUSY) models for the muon $g-2$ anomaly without flavor violating masses at the tree-level. The models can avoid LHC constraints and the vacuum stability constraint in the stau-Higgs potential. Although large…
We investigate the possibility whether the tensions with SM expectations observed in several b -> sll transitions, including hints for lepton flavour non-universality, could be due to the decay of B into a new light resonance. We find that…
We study the three body lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays $\mu^- \to e^- e^+ e^-$, $\tau^- \to l_i^- l_j^+ l_j^-$ and the semileptonic decay $\tau \to \mu \phi $ in the flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) mediated $Z$ boson model. We…
Flavor physics has been crucial in the development of particle physics and it will keep being so in the future. Nowadays, this kind of processes, in particular lepton flavor changing observed in neutrino oscillations, give us the clearest…
Assuming the existence of a gauge boson $X$ which couples to $B - 3 L_\tau$, we discuss the present experimental constraints on $g_X$ and $m_X$ from $Z \to l^+ l^-$ and $Z \to \bar f f X~(f = q, \nu_\tau, \tau)$. We also discuss the…
