The observed interactions between particles are not fully explained in the successful theoretical description of the standard model to date. Due to the close confinement of the bound state muonium ($M = \mu^+ e^-$) can be used as an ideal…

The existence of a new, photon-like, massive particle, the gamma' or dark photon, is postulated in several extensions of the Standard Model. These models are often advocated to explain some recent puzzling astrophysical observations, as…

The $\tau$ lepton arising from the scalar tau ($\st$) decay is naturally polarized. $\ptau$ depends on the left--right mixing of the $\st$ and the gaugino--higgsino mixing of the neutralino. The polarization $\ptau$ could be measured from…

The rare decays mediated by flavor-changing neutral current processes, such as $b \to s \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, provide powerful probes of the Standard Model and potential windows into new physics. Particularly, the angular observables in these…

A search for the lepton-flavor violating decays $B^0_s\to\phi\mu^\pm\tau^\mp$ is presented, using a sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a…

This thesis presents a study of the decays $\tau\rightarrow e\nu\overline{\nu}$ identified after a selection of $\tau^+\tau^-$ events produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions at LEP. These collisions, predominantly mediated by a $Z^0$ boson, offer a…

Angular-energy distributions are studied for charged leptons and neutrinos from the decays of polarised top quarks. A small admixture of V+A interactions is incorporated. The polarisation dependent part of the neutrino distribution which…

We discuss proton and neutron decays involving three leptons in the final state. Some of these modes could constitute the dominant decay channel because they conserve lepton-flavor symmetries that are broken in all usually considered…

Lepton-nucleon elastic scattering, using the one-photon and one-scalar-boson exchange mechanisms considering all possible polarizations, is used to study searches for a new scalar boson and suggest new measurements of the nucleon form…

We present a search for seven lepton-flavor-violating neutral charm decays of the type $D^{0}\rightarrow X^{0} e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp}$, where $X^{0}$ represents a $\pi^{0}$, $K^{0}_{\rm S}$, $\bar{K^{*0}}$, $\rho^{0}$, $\phi$, $\omega$, or…

We study the lepton polarization asymmetries in the radiative leptonic B decays of $B^+\to l^+\nu_{l}\gamma$ and $B^+_{c}\to l^+\nu_{l}\gamma$. We concentrate on the transverse component of the $\tau$ lepton asymmetries in the tau decay…

Flavour physics plays a crucial role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While $B$ physics offers many observables to look for deviations from the SM, the highest new physics sensitivity can be obtained in the rare…

Two results from the PIENU Experiment are presented reporting a test of lepton universality in pion decay and improved limits on heavy neutrinos coupling to positrons. The status of the full analysis for the $\pi^+ \rightarrow \mbox{e}^+…

Some recent precision experiments in low energy muon physics are discussed. Spectroscopy on the muonium atom, the bound state of a positve muon and an electron, has provided precise tests of standard theory and yielded most precise values…

Current and upcoming experiments should improve the sensitivity to radiative lepton decays by an order of magnitude. This paper assumes that one of the tau --> (e, mu) gamma decays is observed, and explores the structure and consequences of…

We analyse the muon longitudinal polarization asymmetry \Delta_long in the decay K^+ --> \pi^+ \mu^+ mu^-. It is stressed that, since the muon helicities are not Lorentz-invariant quantities, the magnitude of \Delta_long depends in general…

We analyze in detail the angular distributions in $\bar{B}\to D^*\ell \bar\nu$ decays, with a focus on lepton-flavour non-universality. We investigate the minimal number of angular observables that fully describes current and upcoming…

We study a lepton flavor violating $\mu N \to \tau X$ reaction in deep inelastic scattering region in supersymmetric models. The contribution from the Higgs boson mediation could be important for this reaction. For that case, the cross…
