Muon lepton flavor processes are reviewed in connection with search for physics beyond the standard model. Several methods to distinguish different theoretical models are discussed for $\mu \to e \gamma$, $\mu \to 3 e$, and $\mu - e$…
A unified mass matrix model of quarks and leptons with a seesaw-type form $M_f=m M_F^{-1} m$ is proposed on the basis of a non-standard Higgs scenario. The matrix $m$ is provided by U(3)-family nonet bosons $\phi$, and the matrix $M_F$ is a…
Starting from state-by-state calculations of exclusive rates of the ordinary muon capture (OMC), we evaluated total muon-capture rates for a set of light- and medium-weight nuclear isotopes. We employed a version of the proton-neutron…
Predicting the rate for $\mu\to e$ conversion in nuclei for a given set of effective operators mediating the violation of lepton flavor symmetry crucially depends on hadronic and nuclear matrix elements. In particular, the uncertainties…
The observation of lepton flavour violation (LFV) in interactions involving charged leptons would be an unambiguous sign of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Given that muons can be produced at high intensities,…
We study nuclear mu-e conversion in the general framework of an effective Lagrangian approach without referring to any specific realization of the physics beyond the standard model (SM) responsible for lepton flavor violation (LFV). We…
A quark and lepton mass matrix model with family symmetries U(3)$\times$O(3) is investigated on the basis of the so-called yukawaon model. In the present model, quarks and leptons are assigned to $(\ell, e^c, u^c) \sim ({\bf 3}, {\bf 3},…
Flavor changing neutral currents coming from a new non-universal neutral Gauge-Boson and from the non-unitary quark mixing matrix for the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ model with right handed neutrinos are studied. By imposing as…
Should muon-to-electron conversion in the field of a nucleus be found in the current generation of experiments, the measurement of the atomic number dependence of the process will become an important experimental goal. We present a new…
Within the framework of a Beyond Standard Model (BSM) with a local $SU(3)$ family symmetry, we report an updated fit of parameters which account for the known spectrum of quarks and charged lepton masses and the quark mixing in a $4\times…
Motivated by the improving sensitivity, $R$, of experiments on $\mu~Ti \rightarrow e~Ti$ and the enhanced Higgs nucleon interaction, we study this lepton number violating process induced by Higgs exchange. Taking the possible sensitivity,…
Exchange current corrections are calculated using currents found from the hard-pion model and AV14+3BF wavefunctions. Results are given for the rate and spin observables. Their sensitivity to g_P, the nucleon pseudoscalar form factor, is…
The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended to include an antiquark in order to study the kaon-nucleon system. The model input parameters $b_u$, $m_u$, $m_s$ are taken to be the same as in our previous work which focused on the nucleon-nucleon…
With $\mu\to e\gamma$ decay forbidden by multiplicative lepton number conservation, we study muonium--antimuonium transitions induced by neutral scalar bosons. Pseudoscalars do not induce conversion for triplet muonium, while for singlet…
Contributions of flavour-changing neutral currents in the 3 3 1 model with right-handed neutrinos to mass difference of the neutral meson system $\Delta m_P (P = K, D, B)$ are calculated. Using the Fritzsch anzats on quark mixing, we show…
We study the phenomenology of the charged Higgs boson at future muon colliders. We investigate both the pair production $\mu^+ \mu^- \to H^+ H^-$, the single production $\mu^+ \mu^- \to W^\pm H^\mp$, as well as the Vector Boson Fusion (VBF)…
A positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$) form the the hydrogen-like muonium atom ($M$=$\mu^+ e^-$). Since it consists of two leptonic particles which are according to present knowledge point-like, accurate calculations of its level…
Flavour changing neutral currents arise in the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(4)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ extension of the standard model because anomaly cancellation among the fermion families requires one generation of quarks to transform differently from…
The muon transfer probabilities between muonic hydrogen and an oxygen atom are calculated in a constrained geometry one dimensional model for collision between 10^-6 and 10^3 eV. These estimated rates are discussed in the light of previous…
