A positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$) form the the hydrogen-like muonium atom ($M$=$\mu^+ e^-$). Since it consists of two leptonic particles which are according to present knowledge point-like, accurate calculations of its level…
We study the $\mu$-$e$ conversion in muonic atoms via an exchange of family gauge boson (FGB) $A_{2}^{\ 1}$ in a $U(3)$ FGB model. Within the class of FGB model, we consider three types of family-number assignments for quarks. We evaluate…

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 $\mu$-$e$…
Muon capture on nuclei is one of the most promising probes of the nuclear electroweak current driving the yet-hypothetical neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay. Both processes involve vector and axial-vector currents at finite…
