We make an evaluation of the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays $\tau \to \ell (V^0, P^0)$, where $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ and $V^0(P^0)$ is a neutral vector (pseudo-scalar) meson, in the context of unparticle physics. The constraints are…

Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decays are forbidden in the Standard Model (SM) and to explore them one has to go beyond it. The flavor changing neutral current induced Lepton Flavor Conserving and LFV decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons are…
