Decays of B mesons into final states containing a tau lepton are sensitive to new charged-current interactions that break lepton-flavor universality. These decays have been studied only at e+e- colliders, where the low-background…
In this work, we study the influence of charged-current non-standard interactions (CC-NSI) at a DUNE-like experiment. We are particularly interested in the tau neutrino channel accessible at DUNE, given the higher energy neutrino flux…

If muon neutrinos produced in cosmological sources oscillate, neutrino telescopes can have a chance to detect tau-neutrinos. In contrast to muon neutrinos the Earth is completely transparent for tau neutrinos thanks to the short life time…
The experimental discovery of large nu_mu-nu_tau mixing indicates that analogous mixing in the charged lepton sector could be substantial. We consider the possibility that if a high intensity muon beam, perhaps at the early stages of a muon…
