Lepton flavor violating decays $Z \to \mu \tau$ and $J/\Psi, \Upsilon \to \mu \tau$ are considered. It is shown that these decays can reach sizeable magnitudes if some specific lepton-flavor violating 4-fermion operators are generated by…
Leptons with essentially the same properties apart from their mass are grouped into three families (or flavours). The number of leptons of each flavour is conserved in interactions, but this is not imposed by fundamental principles. Since…
If light new physics with lepton-flavor-violating couplings exists, the prime discovery channel might not be $\ell\to\ell'\gamma$ but rather $\ell\to\ell' X$, where the new boson $X$ could be an axion, majoron, familon or Z' gauge boson.…
