In this work the following lepton flavor violating $\tau$ and $\mu$ decays are studied: $\tau^- \to \mu^- \mu^- \mu^+$, $\tau^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\mu^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\tau^- \to \mu^- \gamma$, $\tau^- \to e^- \gamma$ and $\mu^- \to e^-…
Following updates in the compilation of $e^+e^-\rightarrow{\rm hadrons}$ data, this work presents re-evaluations of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron ($a_e$), muon ($a_\mu$) and…
Global analysis of neutrino oscillation data slightly favors normal mass ordering. In this work, we investigate an extended scalar sector that naturally gives rise to a type I + II seesaw mechanism after spontaneous symmetry breaking and…
Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations it is known that lepton flavour is not conserved. Lepton flavour violating processes in the charged lepton sector have so far however eluded detection; as they are heavily suppressed in the…
We examine the utility of employing polarized lepton (electron and muon) beams to perform indirect searches for scalar leptoquarks. We find that polarization can extend the reach in excluding leptoquark masses for both $e^+e^-$ and…
A search for nu_bar_mu to nu_bar_e oscillations has been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility using nu_bar_mu from mu+ decay at rest. The nu_bar_e are detected via the reaction (nu_bar_e,p) -> (e+,n), correlated with the 2.2…
The decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ mesons provide unique opportunities for testing the properties of low energy Quantum Chromodynamics and for the search of new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, recent experimental results on…
An overview is presented of a method to search for $D^0\to{}e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ with LHCb data. In order to reduce combinatorial backgrounds, tagged $D^0$ candidates from the decay $D^{\ast+}\to{}D^0\pi^+$ are used. This measurement is…
We investigate the implications of neutrino electromagnetic dipole moments for the radiative decay $\pi \rightarrow e \nu \gamma$. We show that the dominant new effect comes from the interference between the amplitude of the process with…
While the muon $g-2$ anomaly can be successfully explained by some new physics models, most of them are severely constrained by the $\mu \to e \gamma$ bound. This tension is more transparent from the effective field theory perspective, in…
If light new physics with lepton-flavor-violating couplings exists, the prime discovery channel might not be $\ell\to\ell'\gamma$ but rather $\ell\to\ell' X$, where the new boson $X$ could be an axion, majoron, familon or Z' gauge boson.…
We will witness enormous progress in the experimental sensitivity to charged-lepton-violation processes in the near future. New physics signals of charged lepton violation might be around the corner without conflicting with existing…
As constructed, the Standard Model does not include genuine Second Class Currents, however these can be induced through the breaking of isospin or charge conjugation. The experimental limits from B-Factories are getting closer to the…
Building on the rare pion and muon decay results of the PIBETA experiment, the PEN collaboration has undertaken a precise measurement of B_{\pi e2} = R^\pi_{e/\mu}, the \pi^+ -> e^+\nu(\gamma) decay branching ratio, at the Paul Scherrer…
We consider charged lepton flavor violating transitions mediated by the diphoton effective interactions $\ell_i\ell_j\gamma\gamma$ and explore which processes can probe them better. Our analysis includes single and double radiative decays,…

The recent experimental status, including the confirmation of the muon $g-2$ anomaly at Fermilab, indicates a Beyond Standard Model (BSM) satisfying the following properties: 1) it enhances the $g-2$ 2) suppresses flavor violations, such as…
Electromagnetic energy losses of charged pions and muons suppress the expected high energy, >1E18 eV, neutrino emission from sources of ultrahigh energy, >1E19 eV, cosmic-rays. We show here that >1E19 eV photons produced in such sources by…
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) are excellent probes of physics beyond the Standard Model, especially on new sources of CP violation. The muon EDM has recently attracted significant attention due to discrepancies in the magnetic…
We study lepton flavour violating signals at a future e+ e- linear collider within the general MSSM, allowing for the most general flavour structure. We demonstrate that there is a large region in parameter space with large signals, while…
