We use the BNL E821 measurement of g - 2, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, to normalize, within a supersymmetric GUT framework, constrained MSSM (CMSSM) predictions for processes that violate charged-lepton flavour conservation,…

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,…
We show that lepton number violating muon decays, \mu^+ -> e^+ + \nu_e-bar + \nu_i-bar (i=e, \mu or \tau), can consistently explain the neutrino anomaly reported by the LSND experiment. Two effective operators in the Standard Model are…
We consider four lepton-number violating (\lv) processes: (a) neutrinoless double-beta decay (0\nu\beta\beta), (b) Delta L = 2 tau decays, (c) Delta L = 2 rare meson decays and (d) nuclear muon-positron conversion. In the absence of exotic…
One of the three common experimental channels searching for charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) via $\mu-e$ conversion involves first capturing the muon on a nuclear target. This channel provides a unique opportunity to constrain…
We study muonium-antimuonium conversion and mu+ e- to mu- e+ scattering within two different lepton-flavor-violating models with heavy neutrinos: model I is a typical seesaw that violates lepton number as well as flavor; model II has a…
In a few years, the COMET experiment at J-PARC and the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will probe the $\mu-e$ conversion rate in the vicinity of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-17})$ for an Al target with high experimental sensitivity. Within the framework…
We study a new supersymmetric mechanism for lepton flavour violation in muon and tau decays and muon -> e conversion in nuclei, within a minimal extension of the MSSM with low-mass heavy singlet neutrinos and sneutrinos. We find that the…
We study lepton flavour-violating interactions which could result in the $\tau$-lepton production in the $\nu_{\mu}N$ scattering or in $\mu \to \tau$ conversion on nucleons at high energies. Phenomenological bounds on the strength of…
The production of $\tau\mu$ pairs in electron-positron collisions offers a powerful probe of lepton flavor violation. In this work, we calculate the $e^+ e^- \to \tau \mu$ cross section within the framework of the Standard Model Effective…
In the present work we review the most prominent lepton flavor violating processes ($\mu \ra e\gamma$, $\mu \ra 3e$, $(\mu , e)$ conversion, $M-\bar M$ oscillations etc), in the context of unified gauge theories. Many currently fashionable…
Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations it is known that lepton flavour is not conserved. Lepton flavour violating processes in the charged lepton sector have so far however eluded detection; as they are heavily suppressed in the…
These proceedings review the status of present and future bounds on muonic lepton flavour violating transitions in the context of an effective-field theory defined below the electroweak scale. A specific focus is set on the phenomenology of…
We explore the potential of the Mu2e experiment to probe the lepton-flavor-violating process $\mu^- e^- \to e^- e^-$ in a muonic atom within a simplified axion-like particle (ALP) framework featuring flavor-violating $e$-$\mu$ couplings and…
Together with the existence of new neutral gauge bosons, models based on extended gauge groups (rank $> 4$) often predict also new charged fermions. A mixing of the known fermions with new states with {\it exotic} weak-isospin assignments…
The decay $\mu^-\to e^- \bar{\nu}_e\nu_\mu$ of a muon that is bound to a nucleus poses an unavoidable background for experiments such as Mu2e, COMET, and DeeMe searching for lepton-flavor-violating $\mu^-\to e^-$ conversion and thus…
Experiments are planned to improve the sensitivity of mu-e conversion from the current ~ 10^{-12} to 10^{-16} - 10^{-18}. If the muon (bound to the nucleus) could be polarised, a spin asymmetry of the final state electron is sensitive to CP…
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…
The observation of lepton flavour violation (LFV) in the charged lepton sector would be an unambiguous sign of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), and thus, it is the channel of choice for many BSM searches. LFV searches in muon decays…
