We revisit charged lepton flavour in-flight conversions, in which a beam of electrons or muons is directed onto a fixed target, $e + N \to \mu +N$, $e + N \to \tau +N$ and $\mu + N \to \tau +N$, focusing on elastic interactions with a…

It is pointed out that in a general class of flavour models one can identify certain universally present FCNC operators, induced by the exchange of heavy flavour messengers. Their coefficients depend on the rotation angles that connect…

Upcoming searches for lepton flavour change (LFV) aim to probe New Physics(NP) scales up to $ \sim 10^4$ TeV, implying that they will be sensitive to NP at lower scales that is suppressed by loops or small couplings. We suppose that the NP…

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,…

The variation of the coherent branching ratio $R_{\mu e}$ (ratio of the $\mu^-\to e^-$ reaction rate divided by the total muon-capture rate) through the periodic table is studied by using exact muon wave functions. It was found that, by…
