Although the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decay $\mu^+\to e^+ \gamma$ is forbidden in the Standard Model (SM), it can take place within various theories beyond the SM. If the branching ratio of this decay saturates its present bound [{\it…
The Standard Model prediction for muon-electron scattering beyond leading order requires the inclusion of QCD contributions which cannot be computed perturbatively. At next-to- and next-to-next-to-leading order, they arise from one- and…

The complete contribution to the muonium hyperfine splitting of relative order alpha^3(m_e/m_mu)ln(alpha) is calculated. The result amounts to 0.013 kHZ, much smaller than suggested by a previous estimate, and leads to a 2-sigma shift of…

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…

We investigate a possibility that the $\mu^-\to e^+$ conversion is discovered prior to the $\mu^-\to e^-$ conversion, and its implications to the new physics search. We focus on the specific model including the mixing of the $SU(2)_L$…
