We discuss sensitivities to lepton flavor violating (and conserving) interactions at future muon colliders, especially at $\mu^+\mu^+$ colliders. Compared with the searches for rare decays of $\mu$ and $\tau$, we find that the TeV-scale…
Within the Standard Model, in spite of neutrino oscillations, the flavor of charged leptons is conserved in very good approximation, and therefore charged Lepton Flavor Violation is expected to be unobservable. On the other hand, most new…
We study the implications of a large $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ mixing angle on lepton flavour violating radiative transitions in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. The transition rates are calculated to leading order in $\epsilon$,…
We revisit the potential of a Linear Collider concerning the study of lepton flavour violation, in view of new LHC bounds and of the (very) recent developments in lepton physics. Working in the framework of a type I supersymmetric seesaw,…
The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for coherent, neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus, with a sensitivity improvement of a factor of 10^4 over previous experiments. Such a charged lepton…
The observation of a charged-lepton flavor violating process would be a definite sign for physics beyond the Standard Model, but would actually only prove that one particular linear combination of lepton numbers is violated. We categorize…
We propose a search at Mu3e for lepton flavor violating axion(-like) particles in $\mu\to 3e + a$ decays. By requiring an additional $e^+e^-$ pair from internal conversion, one can circumvent the calibration challenges which plague the $\mu…
Flavour-violating decays are some of the most sensitive probes for New Physics with masses below the B meson threshold. In this talk I review the sensitivity to axion-like particles, hidden photons and heavy neutral leptons assuming minimal…
Searches for charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) offer deep probes for a range of new physics scenarios, such as super-symmetric models, theories involving scalar leptoquarks or additional Higgs doublets, and models explaining the…
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…
The flavor-violating decay of a new neutral massive gauge boson $Z^\prime\to\mu e$ is analyzed in the context of extended models, in which this particle emerges. By means of the analysis of the $\mu\to e\gamma$ decay, $\mu-e$ conversion…
We investigate the lepton flavor violation decays, $\tau \to \mu\gamma$, $\tau \to e\gamma$ and $\mu \to e\gamma$, in the framwork of a squential fourth generation model with a heavy fourth neutrino, $\nu'$. Using the recent experimental…
The Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut will search for the lepton-number-violating decay \mueee, extending the sensitivity by four orders of magnitude compared to existing limits. This probe of new physics is complementary to the…
We study the constraints on flavour violating terms in low energy SUSY coming from several processes as li -> lj gamma, li -> lj lj lj and mu -> e in Nuclei. We show that a combined analysis of the processes allows us to extract additional…
We explore a $Z^\prime$ boson coupled only with the Standard Model (SM) fermions ($Z^\prime f\bar{f}$) in the framework of Minimal Flavor Violation. We study its effects on the processes with lepton flavor violation $\ell_j\to…
Lepton flavor violating processes are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Therefore, if observed, lepton flavor violation would be a clear indication of new physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the process $e^+e^-\to\tau\mu$ at…
If observed, charged lepton flavour violation is a clear sign of new physics - beyond the Standard Model minimally extended to accommodate neutrino oscillation data. After a brief review of several charged lepton flavour violation…
We make an evaluation of the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays $\tau \to \ell (V^0, P^0)$, where $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ and $V^0(P^0)$ is a neutral vector (pseudo-scalar) meson, in the context of unparticle physics. The constraints are…
We search for lepton-flavor-violating tau decays into three leptons (electron or muon) using 535 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. No evidence for these decays is observed and we…
After an overture and a non-technical exposition of the relevant theoretical framework including a brief discussion of some of the most popular extensions of the Standard Model, we will compile a list of 20 goals in flavour physics that…
