Several experiments search for \mu - e flavour change, for instance in \mu ->e conversion, \mu-> e \gamma, and \mu -> 3e. This paper studies how to translate these experimental constraints from low energy to a New Physics scale M >> mW. A…

Many studies of possible new physics employ effective field theory (EFT), whereby corrections to the Standard Model take the form of higher-dimensional operators, suppressed by a large energy scale. Fits of such a theory to data typically…
We investigate the current LHC bounds on New Physics (NP) that contributes to $\bar B \to D^{(*)} l\bar\nu$ for $l = (e,\mu,\tau)$ by considering both leptoquark (LQ) models and an effective-field-theory (EFT) Hamiltonian. Experimental…
We show that a kilometer-scale neutrino observatory, though optimized for TeV to PeV energy, is sensitive to the neutrinos associated with super-EeV sources. These include super-heavy relics, neutrinos associated with the Greisen cutoff,…
