We have searched for lepton-flavor-violating $\tau$ decays with a pseudoscalar meson ($\eta$, $\eta'$ {and} $\pi^0$) using a data sample of 401 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. No…
In the framework of the minimal ${SU}(3)_C\otimes {SU}(3)_L \otimes {U}(1)_N$ model, the lepton-flavour-violating decay $\pi^+ \ra \mu^- \nu_\mu e^+ e^+ $ is calculated without directly invoking lepton mixing. The branching ratio for this…
Models involving large extra spatial dimension(s) have interesting predictions on lepton flavor violating processes. We consider some 5D models which are related to neutrino mass generation or address the fermion masses hierarchy problem.…
Motivated by flavour symmetry models, we construct theories based on a low-energy limit featuring lepton flavour triality that have the flavour-violating decays $\tau^\pm \to \mu^\pm \mu^\pm e^\mp$ and $\tau^\pm \to e^\pm e^\pm \mu^\mp$ as…
We study lepton-flavor violation (LFV) effects occurring in the $e-\mu$ conversion in nuclei and in the rare radiative decays $\eta(\eta') \to \gamma \mu e$ of the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons with a special impact of the sub-GeV mass vector…
In the absence of direct evidence of new physics, any ultraviolet theory can be reduced to its specific set of low-energy effective operators. As a case study, we derive the effective field theory for the seesaw extension of the Standard…
In this work the following lepton flavor violating $\tau$ and $\mu$ decays are studied: $\tau^- \to \mu^- \mu^- \mu^+$, $\tau^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\mu^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\tau^- \to \mu^- \gamma$, $\tau^- \to e^- \gamma$ and $\mu^- \to e^-…

The experimental sensitivity to $\mu \to e$ conversion on nuclei is set to improve by four orders of magnitude in coming years. However, various operator coefficients add coherently in the amplitude for $\mu \to e$ conversion, weighted by…
Lepton flavor-violating processes offer interesting possibilities to probe new physics at multi-TeV scale. We discuss those in the framework of effective field theory, emphasizing the role of gluonic operators. Those operators are obtained…
Motivated by the interest in lepton number violating processes, we study the connection between the rate of Z -> mu e decay and those of the low-energy processes mu ->3 e, and mu -> e conversion in nuclear field. We show that if the vector…

We speculate about the possible interpretations of the recently observed excess in the $h \to \tau \mu$ decay. We derive a robust lower bound on the Higgs boson coupling strength to a tau and a muon, even in presence of the most general new…
Despite a large experimental effort, so far no evidence for flavour-violating decays of charged leptons such as $l_i\to l_j\gamma$ and $l_i\to l_j l_k l_k$ has been found. The absence of a signal puts very severe constraints on many…
Compared to $\mu \to e \gamma$ and $\mu \to e e e$, the process $\mu \to e$ conversion in nuclei receives enhanced contributions from Higgs-induced lepton flavor violation. Upcoming $\mu \to e$ conversion experiments with drastically…
