We discuss sensitivities to lepton flavor violating (and conserving) interactions at future muon colliders, especially at $\mu^+\mu^+$ colliders. Compared with the searches for rare decays of $\mu$ and $\tau$, we find that the TeV-scale…

Flavour-violating decays are some of the most sensitive probes for New Physics with masses below the B meson threshold. In this talk I review the sensitivity to axion-like particles, hidden photons and heavy neutral leptons assuming minimal…

Supersymmetric theories with significant lepton flavor violation have $\tilde{e}$ and $\tilde{\mu}$ nearly degenerate. In this case, pair production of $\tilde{e}^+ \tilde{e}^-$ and $\tilde{\mu}^+ \tilde{\mu}^-$ at LEPII and at the Next…

In this work, we investigate angular observables such as the longitudinal polarization of charged leptons, $\tau$-polarization, and forward-backward asymmetry in semileptonic $B_c$ decays. Additionally, we provide predictions for lepton…
If observed, charged lepton flavour violation is a clear sign of new physics - beyond the Standard Model minimally extended to accommodate neutrino oscillation data. We briefly review several extensions of the Standard Model which could…
In view of the emerging hints for the violation of lepton flavour universality in several $B$-meson decays, we conduct a model-independent study (effective field theory approach) of several well-motivated new physics scenarios. Taking into…
We analyze the prospects of observing lepton flavour violation in future e-e- and e+e- linear colliders in scenarios where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle, and the stau is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle.…
Despite a large experimental effort, so far no evidence for flavour-violating decays of charged leptons such as $l_i\to l_j\gamma$ and $l_i\to l_j l_k l_k$ has been found. The absence of a signal puts very severe constraints on many…
After a discussion of the hierarchy problem of the Fermi scale, we study the flavour and Higgs boson(s) phenomenology of new physics close to it, both in general and in the specific cases of Supersymmetry and composite Higgs models. First,…
