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 number violating meson decays, such as $M_1^- \to M_2^+\ell_1^-\ell_2^-$, provide constraints on $d=9$ $\Delta L = 2$ operators. RGE-improved bounds on the Wilson coefficients of these operators have been presented in the literature,…

The impact of possible sources of lepton-flavor mixing on $K \to \pi \nu\bar\nu$ decays is analysed. At the one-loop level lepton-flavor mixing originated from non-diagonal lepton mass matrices cannot generate a CP-conserving $K_L \to…
We consider lepton-flavor violation in strangeness changing ($|\Delta S|=1$) semileptonic $\tau$-lepton decays arising from new physics encoded in a standard model effective Lagrangian. Its invariance under the standard model gauge group…
