Lepton flavour violation (LFV) naturally occurs in many new physics models, specifically in those explaining the $B$ anomalies. While LFV has already been studied for mesonic decays, it is important to consider also baryonic decays mediated…
We have searched for the lepton flavor violating decays $\tau^-\to \ell^-\ks$ ($\ell = e {or} \mu$), using a data sample of 281 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. No evidence for a…
We present the first direct search for lepton flavour violating muon decay mediated by a new light particle X, $\mu^+ \to \mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{X} \to \gamma\gamma$. This search uses a dataset resulting from $7.5\times 10^{14}$…
We discuss the exclusive lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays modes based on $b\to d\ell_i\ell_j$ and $b\to s\ell_i\ell_j$ by considering the ground state mesons and baryons. After spelling out the expressions for such decay rates in a low…
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 $\mu…
Gauged extensions [$SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y\otimes U(1)_X$] of the standard $SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ model obtained without extending the fermion content of the model are studied. Models that are possible when $U(1)_X$ is identified with some…
Flavour-violating decays are some of the most sensitive probes for New Physics with masses below the B meson threshold. In this talk I review the sensitivity to axion-like particles, hidden photons and heavy neutral leptons assuming minimal…
We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from $B \ra X_s {l_i}^+ {l_j}^-$ decays. These modes of B-meson decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or…
Direct searches for lepton flavor violation in decays of the $Z$ boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. Decays of the $Z$ boson into an electron or a muon and a hadronically decaying $\tau$ lepton are considered. The…
We estimate the rates of lepton flavor violating decays of the vector mesons $\rho, \omega, \phi \to e \mu$. The theoretical tools are based on an effective Lagrangian approach without referring to any specific realization of the physics…
We study the interplay of New Physics (NP) among the lepton magnetic moment, the lepton flavor violation (LFV) and the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) in light of recent data of the muon $(g-2)_\mu$. The NP is discussed in the…
A lepton-flavor violating (LFV) Z' boson may mimic some of the phenomena usually attributed to supersymmetric theories. Using a conservative model of LFV Z' bosons, the recent BNL E821 muon g-2 deviation allows for a LFV Z' interpretation…
We search for lepton-flavor-violating and lepton-number-violating tau decays into a lepton (l = electron or muon) and two charged mesons (h, h' = pion or Kaon) using 854 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
Analyticity and unitarity constrain certain classe of new physics models by linking flavor-conserving and flavor-violating four-fermion interactions. In this work, we explore how these theoretical relations impact flavor-violating rare top…
New sub-GeV vector bosons with couplings to muons but not electrons have been discussed in order to explain the muon's magnetic moment, the gap of high-energy neutrinos in IceCube or the proton radius puzzle. If such a light Z' not only…
From analysis of data produced by the BABAR experiment, the first upper bounds (90% C.L.) were obtained on the branching ratios $Br(\tau \to e \gamma\gamma)<2.5 \times 10^{-4}$ and $Br(\tau \to \mu \gamma\gamma)<5.8 \times 10^{-4}$. In…
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,…
In this paper we study the Lepton Flavor Violating $Z$ boson decays $Z \to \tau \mu$ and $Z \to \tau e$ in the context of low scale seesaw models with new heavy Majorana neutrinos whose masses could be reachable at the LHC. Our computations…
LHCb has reported deviations from the Standard Model in $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ transitions for which a new neutral gauge boson is a prime candidate for an explanation. As this gauge boson has to couple in a flavour non-universal way to muons…
We have searched for neutrinoless $\tau$ lepton decays into $\ell$ and $V^0$, where $\ell$ stands for an electron or muon, and $V^0$ for a vector meson ($\phi$, $\omega$, $K^{*0}$ or $\bar{K}^{*0}$), using 543 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected…
