In this paper, we study the lepton flavor violating decays of the $l_j\rightarrow l_i \gamma\gamma$ (j=2, 3; i=1, 2) processes under the $U(1)_X$SSM. The $U(1)_X$SSM is the addition of three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed…
We report on the first search for electron-muon lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the decay of a $b$~quark and $b$~antiquark bound state. We look for the LFV decay $\Upsilon (3S)\rightarrow e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ in a sample of 118~million…
Lepton flavour violation (LFV) naturally occurs in many new physics models, specifically in those explaining the $B$ anomalies. While LFV has already been studied for mesonic decays, it is important to consider also baryonic decays mediated…
