The observation of lepton flavour violation (LFV) in the charged lepton sector would be an unambiguous sign of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), and thus, it is the channel of choice for many BSM searches. LFV searches in muon decays…

The search for lepton flavour violation in charged lepton decays is highly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Among the possible processes, $\mu$-decays are considered to have the largest discovery potential in most of the…
