In this work we introduce CPT-odd non-minimal Lorentz-symmetry violating couplings to the electroweak sector modifying the interaction between leptons and gauge bosons. The vertex rules allow us to calculate tree-level processes modified by…
Experimental searches for lepton-flavor-violating coherent muon-to-electron conversion in the field of a nucleus, have been proposed to reach the unprecedented sensitivity of 10^(-16) - 10^(-18) per stopped muon. At that level, they probe…
On general grounds based on quantum field theory the decay amplitude for $\Sigma^0 \to \Lambda \gamma$ consists of a parity conserving magnetic and a parity violating electric dipole transition moment. Because of the subsequent…
We have designed a new experiment (E923) at the BNL-AGS to search for the T-violating polarization of the muon normal to the decay plane of the KMU3 decay. The experiment aims to search for T-violation beyond the Standard Model; such a…
Electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles are powerful probes of new physics with flavor-diagonal CP violation. The reported discrepancy in the muon anomalous magnetic moment motivates us to explore to what extent new physics…
This note presents an analysis of lepton-flavour-violating muon decays within the framework of a low-energy effective field theory that contains higher-dimensional operators allowed by QED and QCD symmetries. The decay modes $\mu\to e…
We examine the muon's electric dipole moment $\dmu$ from a variety of theoretical perspectives. We point out that the reported deviation in the muon's g-2 can be due partially or even entirely to a new physics contribution to the muon's…
Contribution of the strong CP angle, $\bar\theta$, to the Wilson Coefficients of electron and muon electric dipole moment (EDM) operators are discussed. Previously, $\bar\theta$ contribution to the electron EDM operator was calculated by…
A triple vector correlation in the $\mu^{+} \to e^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$ decay with polarized muons is investigated as a probe to CP violating coupling constants in supersymmetric models. A sizable triple correlation can be induced due to a…
At present, there are discrepancies with the predictions of the standard model in ${\bar B}^0 \to D^{*+} \ell^- {\bar\nu}_\ell$ decays, hinting at the presence of new physics (NP) in $b \to c \tau^- {\bar\nu}$. Various NP models have been…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
We study the potential of the LHCb experiment to discover, for the first time, the $\mu^+\mu^-$ true muonium bound state. We propose a search for the vector $1^3S_1$ state, $\mathcal{T\!M}$, which kinetically mixes with the photon and…
Following a proposal for an experiment with sensitivity to an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon $d_\mu$ of order $6\times10^{-23}\ e$ cm, three to four orders of magnitude below the current bound, but still seven orders of magnitude…
The standard CKM model can be tested and New Physics detected using only CP-violating phase measurements in B decays. This requires the measurement of a phase factor which is small in the Standard Model, in addition to the usual large…
We show that new physics, either from CPT violation in B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing or from \Delta B = -\Delta Q transitions, may lead to an opposite-sign dilepton asymmetry of neutral B-meson decays. Both effects have the same time-dependent…
There is no guarantee that the violation of lepton number, assuming it exists, will primarily manifest itself in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). Lepton-number violation and lepton-flavor violation may be related, and…
