In this work we study the potential of the processes $e^+e^- \to e^+\gamma^* e^- \to e^+\tau \bar\nu_\tau \nu_e $ and $e^+e^- \to e^+\gamma^* \gamma^* e^- \to e^+\nu_\tau \bar\nu_\tau e^- $ at a future high-energy and high-luminosity linear…
Recently, several indications of lepton non-universality observables have been perceived in semileptonic $B$ meson decay processes, both in the neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) and charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) transitions.…
We present the results of a search for anomalous resonant production of tau lepton pairs with large invariant mass, the first such search using the CDF II Detector in Run II of the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider. Such anomalous production…

We review the Standard Model prediction of the tau lepton g-2 presenting updated QED and electroweak contributions, as well as recent determinations of the leading-order hadronic term, based on the low energy e+e- data, and of the hadronic…

In a previous work \cite{Buttazzo:2020ibd}, it has been pointed out that heavy new physics (NP) contributions to lepton dipole moments and high-energy cross-sections of lepton pairs into Higgs and $\gamma/Z$ bosons are connected, if the…
In this paper, we consider phenomenology of a model with an $L_\mu-L_\tau$ gauge symmetry. Since the muon couples to the $L_\mu-L_\tau$ gauge boson (called $Z''$ boson), its contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2) can…
A measurement of the coupling strength of the Higgs boson to a pair of tau leptons is performed using events recorded in proton-proton collisions by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data set…
Rare and very rare decays of third-generation particles, including $b$-hadrons and $\tau$ leptons, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Unlike direct searches limited by collider energies, they probe new…
The leptonic decays of the tau lepton provide relevant tests on the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic tau decay modes constitute an ideal tool for studying low--energy…
The tau lepton can be more composite than naively expected in models of strong electroweak symmetry breaking with tri-bimaximal lepton mixing. New leptonic resonances required by custodial symmetry, the tau custodians, can then be the first…
The Belle II experiment and other ongoing and projected lepton facilities are expected to greatly enhance the sensitivity to the electric dipole moment (EDM) and anomalous magnetic moment ($g-2$) for the tau lepton, making it timely to…
A number of predictions were made in von Buddenbrock et al (2016 Eur. Phys. J. C 76, 10, 580) pertaining to the anomalous production of multiple leptons at the Large Hadron Collider. Discrepancies in multi-lepton final states have now…
In this work we investigate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment $a_\mu$ in a model that extends the Standard Model with a scalar triplet and a lepton triplet. Different from previous studies, we find that there is still viable…
Spin correlations for tau lepton decays are included in the Pythia 8 event generation software and the spin correlations for the decays of tau leptons produced from electroweak and Higgs bosons are calculated. Decays of the tau lepton using…

We calculate distributions for tau+ tau- gamma production at LEP 1 taking into account a potentially existing anomalous magnetic moment a_tau of the tau lepton. The existing upper limits for |a_tau| are known from the dependence of the…
