Some recent $\tau$-physics results are presented from the BaBar and Belle experiments at the SLAC and KEK B factories, which produce copious numbers of $\tau$-lepton pairs. Measurements of the tau mass and lifetime allow to test lepton…

Here I review the status and prospects of experimental investigations into lepton flavor violation (LFV) in charged leptons. Rare LFV processes are naturally expected to occur through loops of TeV scale particles predicted by supersymmetric…

We explore scalar dark matter that is part of a lepton flavor triplet satisfying symmetry requirements under the hypothesis of minimal flavor violation. Beyond the standard model, the theory contains in addition three right-handed neutrinos…

In this work we study the Lepton Flavour Violating semileptonic $\tau$ decays: 1) $\tau \to \mu PP$ with $PP= \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0, K^+K^-, K^0 {\bar K}^0$; 2) $\tau \to \mu P$ with $P=\pi^0, \eta, \eta'$ and 3) $\tau \to \mu V$ with $V =…

We give a pedagogical introduction to the rich phenomenology of hadronic tau decays. These decays provide a unique window into the interplay of electroweak and strong interactions at low energies, as they occur primarily via $W$ exchange…

We propose a dark matter direct-detection strategy using charged particle decays at accelerator-based experiments. If ultralight $(m_\phi \ll \text{eV})$ dark matter has a misalignment abundance, its local field oscillates in time at a…

In theories with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, the scalar tau, (${\tilde \tau_1}$) is the lightest superpartner for a large range of the parameter space. At the large electron positron collider (LEP 2) this scenario can give rise…

Energy and angular distributions of the tau decay products in the CERN-to-Gran Sasso $\nu_\tau$ appearance experiments are studied for the decay modes $\tau\to\pi\nu$ and $\tau\to l\bar\nu\nu$ (l=e or mu). We find that the decay particle…

We report on the first searches for lepton flavour violating $\tau^-$ decays at a hadron collider. These include searches for the lepton flavour violating decay $\tau^-\to \mu^+\mu^-\mu^-$ and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating…

We discuss a possibility to explain the excess of $h\to\mu\tau$ at one-loop level. We introduce three generation of vector-like lepton doublet $L'$ and two singlet scalars $S_{1,2}$ which are odd under $Z_2$, while all the standard model…

We search for lepton-flavor-violating tau decays into a lepton (electron or muon) and an f0(980) meson using 671 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. No events are observed and we set…

We present the result of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decays $\tau^- \rightarrow e^\mp \ell^\pm \ell^-$, where $\ell$ is a muon or an electron, using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{-1}$ recorded…

The lepton number and flavor violations are important possible ingredients of the lepton physics. The neutrinoless double beta decay and the transition of the muonium into antimuonuim are related to those violations. The former can give us…

The dimension-six CP-conserving $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$ invariant operators involving the tau lepton are studied. It leads to the new physics effects to the lepton flavor violation (LFV) and lepton flavor-changing neutral current(FCNC). With…

Lepton-flavor-violating decays of light pseudoscalars, $P=\pi^0,\eta,\eta'\to\mu e$, are stringently suppressed in the Standard Model up to tiny contributions from neutrino oscillations, so that their observation would be a clear indication…

In this paper, we initiate the study of lepton flavor violating (LFV) dark matter (DM) interactions, expanding our focus beyond the flavor-conserving DM interactions typically considered in conventional direct and indirect detections. We…

In this paper we study the Lepton Flavor Violating $Z$ boson decays $Z \to \tau \mu$ and $Z \to \tau e$ in the context of low scale seesaw models with new heavy Majorana neutrinos whose masses could be reachable at the LHC. Our computations…

We report the results of a search for flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-flavor, and lepton-number violating decays of the 3 and 4-body decay modes of D0 (and its antiparticle) containing muons and electrons. Using data from Fermilab…

In leptonic flavour models with discrete flavour symmetries, couplings between flavons and leptons can result in special flavour structures after they gain vacuum expectation values. At the same time, they can also contribute to the other…

We consider a class of models predicting new heavy neutral fermionic states, whose mixing with the light neutrinos can be naturally significant and produce observable effects below the threshold for their production. We update the indirect…
