In theories with large extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity, black holes are copiously produced in particle collisions at energies well above the Planck scale. I briefly review some recent work on the phenomenology of this process, with…
The lepton number violating process can be induced by introducing a fourth generation heavy Majorana neutrino, which is coupled to the charged leptons of Standard Model. There have been many previous studies on the leptonic number violating…
We study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes mu -> e gamma, mu -> 3e, and mu -> e conversion in nuclei in the left-right symmetric model without supersymmetry and perform the first complete computation of the LFV branching ratios…
We explore realizations of minimal flavour violation (MFV) for the lepton sector. We find that it can be realized within those seesaw models where a separation of the lepton number and lepton flavour violating scales can be achieved, such…
We investigate a model in which tiny neutrino masses are generated at the two-loop level by using scalar leptoquark and diquark multiplets. The diquark can be singly produced at the LHC, and it can decay into a pair of leptoquarks through…
We investigate lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the the singlet-triplet scotogenic model in which neutrinos acquire non-zero masses at the 1-loop level. In contrast to the most popular variant of this setup, the singlet scotogenic model,…
We give a complete classification of mass dimension five Lorentz-non-invariant interactions composed from the Standard Model fields, using the effective field theory approach. We identify different classes of Lorentz violating operators,…
Lepton number violation may arise via the spontaneous breakdown of a global symmetry. In extra dimensions, spontaneous lepton number violation in the bulk implies the existence of a Goldstone boson, the majoron J^(0), as well as an…
A search for narrow resonances decaying to an electron and a muon is presented. The e-mu mass spectrum is also investigated for non-resonant contributions from the production of quantum black holes (QBHs). The analysis is performed using…
The experimental observation of lepton-number violating processes would unambiguously indicate the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Various $\Delta L$ = 2 processes for pseudoscalar meson $M_1$ decays to another pseudoscalar meson $M_2$ and…
This dissertation reviews the Standard Model formalism as well as the Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decay processes which cause its extension, known as the physics beyond the SM. Firstly, using the experimental bounds on three body LFV…
We propose a new mechanism to generate the neutrino Majorana mass in TeV-scale gravity models. The black hole violates all non-gauged symmetries and can become the origin of lepton number violating processes. The fluctuation of…
Electrons and electron neutrinos in the inner core of the core-collapse supernova are highly degenerate and therefore numerous during a few seconds of explosion. In contrast, leptons of other flavors are non-degenerate and therefore…
After discussion of mechanisms of lepton number violation, we consider meson decays $K^+ \to\pi^ - \ell ^ + \ell '^ +$ and $D^ + \to K^ - \ell ^ + \ell '^ +$ ($\ell,\ell ' = e,\mu $) with $\Delta L= 2$ in the Standard Model extended by…
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) has been discovered in the neutrino sector by neutrino oscillation experiments. The minimally extended Standard Model (SM) to include neutrino masses allows LFV in the charged sector (CLFV) at the loop-level,…
We carry out a detailed analysis of the scalar sector of the nonminimal supersymmetric standard model with lepton number violation, and study the constraints imposed on it by the stability of the electroweak symmetry breaking vacuum. The…
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model that can account for the dark matter and explain the existence of neutrino masses. The model includes a vector-like doublet of SU(2), a singlet fermion, and two scalar singlets, all of…
Lepton number violation (LNV) can be induced by Majorana neutrinos in four-body decays of the neutral B meson and the top quark. We study the effects of Majorana neutrinos in these |\Delta L|=2 decays in an scenario where a single heavy…
We study the effect of lepton number violation (LNV) on baryon asymmetry, generated in the early Universe, in the presence of a dark sector with a global symmetry $U(1)_X$, featuring asymmetric dark matter (ADM). We show that in general…
Lepton number violation (LNV) mediated by short range operators can manifest itself in both neutrinoless double beta decay and in processes with same sign dilepton final states at the LHC. We derive limits from existing LHC data at…
