We perform a global analysis of the bounds from charged lepton flavour violating observables to new physics. We parametrize generic new physics through the Effective Field Theory formalism and perform global fits beyond the common…
Upcoming experiments will improve the sensitivity to $\mu\to e$ processes by several orders of magnitude, and could observe lepton flavour-changing contact interactions for the first time. In this paper, we investigate what could be learned…
We discuss Lepton-Flavour-Violating phenomena such as $\mu \to e \gamma$, $\mu \to eee$, and $\mu \to e$ conversion in nuclei in SUSY models with and without R-parity. We stress that experimental searches for all the LFV processes are…
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…
We perform a model independent analysis so as to constrain the leptoquark (LQ) models from negative searches for $\mu \to e \gamma$, $\mu \to 3e$ decays (and analogous processes in the $\tau$ sector), and coherent $\mu-e$ conversion in…
We study the implications of a large $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ mixing angle on lepton flavour violating radiative transitions in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. The transition rates are calculated to leading order in $\epsilon$,…
Within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework, with operators up to dimension 6, we perform a model-independent analysis of the lepton-flavour-violating processes involving tau leptons. Namely, we study hadronic tau decays and…
There have been many theoretical models constructed which aim to explain the neutrino masses and mixing patterns. While many of the models will be eliminated once more accurate determinations of the mixing parameters, especially $\sin^2…
The flavour lepton symmetry is gauged for both the Standard Model flavor group and its extension with three degenerate right-handed neutrinos. As a consequence of anomaly cancellation, exotic leptons are introduced which induce a see-saw…
Within a class of models in which lepton flavor violation is induced dominantly by scalar particle exchanges, we estimate the $\mu \to e$ conversion rate in several nuclei. We include next-to-leading order (NLO) terms in the one- and…
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…
The $\mu$-$e$ conversion process is one of the most powerful ways to test lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) interactions involving charged leptons. The standard model with massive neutrinos predicts an extremely low rate for $\mu$-$e$…
We show that nuclear interactions are SU(4) symmetric at leading order in chiral perturbation theory in the large-N limit of QCD. The nucleons and delta resonances form a 20-dimensional representation of SU(4) and we show how Wigner's…
Mu2e at Fermilab will search for charged lepton flavor violation via the coherent conversion process mu- N --> e- N with a sensitivity approximately four orders of magnitude better than the current world's best limits for this process. The…
We investigate a possibility that the $\mu^-\to e^+$ conversion is discovered prior to the $\mu^-\to e^-$ conversion, and its implications to the new physics search. We focus on the specific model including the mixing of the $SU(2)_L$…
An observation of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) would be unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e and COMET experiments, under construction, are designed to push the sensitivity to CLFV in the mu to e…
We analyse an inverse seesaw scenario with 3+3 gauge singlets. The flavour structure is determined by a flavour symmetry, Delta (3 n^2) or Delta (6 n^2), n integer, and CP and their residual groups among charged leptons and the neutral…
Here we update the predictions for lepton flavour violating tau and muon decays, $l_j \to l_i \gamma$, $l_j \to 3 l_i$, and $\mu-e$ conversion in nuclei. We work within a SUSY-seesaw context where the particle content of the Minimal…
We analyze lepton flavour violating transitions, leptonic magnetic dipole moments (MDMs) and electric dipole moments (EDMs) in a class of models characterized by the flavour symmetry A4 x Z3 x U(1)_{FN}, whose choice is motivated by the…
We use unitarity and analyticity of scattering amplitudes to constrain fermionic operators in the standard model effective field theory. For four-fermion operators at mass dimension 8, we scatter flavor superpositions in fixed standard…
