Recently, the LHCb collaboration announced a preliminary result of the test of lepton flavor universality (LFU) in $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ semi-leptonic decays: $R_{D}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.441 \pm 0.089$ and $R_{D^{\ast}}^{\rm LHCb2022} = 0.281 \pm…

We present the results of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decays $B^0 \rightarrow K^{*0}\tau^\pm \ell^{\mp}$, where $\ell^{\mp}$ is either an electron or a muon. The results are based on 365 fb$^{-1}$ and 711 fb$^{-1}$…

We study the expected sensitivity at Belle and Belle II for four-body $\tau^\mp \to X^\pm l^\mp l^\mp \nu_{\tau}$ decays where $l=e$ or $\mu$ and $X=\pi$, $K$, $\rho$ and $K^*$ mesons. These decay processes violate the total lepton number…
