We analyse an inverse seesaw scenario with 3+3 gauge singlets. The flavour structure is determined by a flavour symmetry, Delta (3 n^2) or Delta (6 n^2), n integer, and CP and their residual groups among charged leptons and the neutral…
Flavordynamics chiral models of leptoquark fermions and bilepton gauge bosons with masses up to about 1 TeV, although coincident at low energy with the standard model, address the question of fermion mass hyerarchy and explain the flavor…
Neutrino masses provide evidence of lepton flavour violation, but no violation in the interactions among the charged leptons has been observed yet. Many models of Physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) predict Charged Lepton Flavour…
A lepton-flavor violating (LFV) Z' boson may mimic some of the phenomena usually attributed to supersymmetric theories. Using a conservative model of LFV Z' bosons, the recent BNL E821 muon g-2 deviation allows for a LFV Z' interpretation…
We study the implications of an approximate $U(2)^5$ flavor symmetry at the TeV scale, under the assumption of new physics predominantly coupled to the third-generation fermions, focusing on the breaking of the $U(2)_\ell$ subgroup…
Considering the constraints on the lepton flavor violating (LFV) couplings of the new gauge boson $Z'$ to ordinary leptons from the experimental upper limit for the LFV process $\ell\rightarrow 3\ell'$, we calculate the contributions of…
We investigate the experimental bounds on the Flavor-Violating (FV) couplings of the $Z$ boson to the charged leptons. In addition to the direct LHC searches for FV $Z$ decays to leptons, we investigate indirect bounds from…
We present the first detailed computation of the conversion of a bound muon into an electron mediated by a doubly charged $SU(2)$ singlet scalar. Although such particles are not too exotic, up to now their contribution to $\mu$-$e$…
There are serious discussions for building a muon collider with $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ collisions at c.o.m. energies up to 4 TeV. We point out that the bileptonic gauge bosons predicted in some extensions of the Standard Model would be readily…
In the Standard Model (SM), the weak gauge bosons and fermions acquire mass through the Higgs mechanism. A lower limit on the SM Higgs mass of 114.4 GeV was obtained from the direct search at LEP. Although a single Higgs doublet is…
A search for pair-produced doubly charged Higgs bosons has been performed using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 614 pb-1 collected with the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 189GeV and…
In this study, we investigate the lepton flavor violation (LFV) of Z gauge boson decaying into two different flavor charged leptons $Z\rightarrow l_i l_j$ ($Z\rightarrow \tau \mu$, $Z\rightarrow \tau e$ and $Z\rightarrow \mu e$). This work…
Attention is called to potentially dangerous lepton-flavor violation (LFV) induced by the D-terms of additional U(1) flavor-dependent gauge symmetries in supersymmetric models. In such models, LFV persists despite an arbitrarily high scale…
We study the "lepton-specific" two Higgs doublet model, in which one doublet Phi_l gives mass to charged leptons and the other Phi_q gives mass to both up- and down-type quarks. We examine the existing experimental constraints on the…
We give an estimate for the upper bounds on rates of lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays M to mu(pm) + e(mp) of vector mesons M = rho0, omega, phi, J/psi, Upsilon and the Z0 boson in a model independent way, analyzing the corresponding…
We introduce the idea of flavour transfer from a non-abelian horizontal $SU(2)_f$ flavour gauge group embedded in the Standard Model flavour structure. The new flavour vector bosons, in the mass range from the tens of GeV to multi-TeV do…
In this paper, limits are set on bileptons masses and couplings in the context of the the 331 Model, as well as generic, non-331 Models predicting bileptons. The following measurable processes are studied: $pp \rightarrow…
Higgs couplings to charged leptons form an important measurement to understand not only the Standard Model (SM), but also physics Beyond Standard Models (BSM). In this work, we update the bounds on the Flavor-Violating (FV) Higgs couplings…
A search is presented for a Higgs-like boson with mass in the range 45 to 195 GeV/$c^2$ decaying into a muon and a tau lepton. The dataset consists of proton-proton interactions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb…
We analyze the lepton number violating (LNV) meson decays that arise in a TeV scale Left Right Symmetry model. The right handed Majorana neutrino $N$ along with the right handed or Standard Model gauge bosons mediate the meson decays and…
