We revisit charged lepton flavour in-flight conversions, in which a beam of electrons or muons is directed onto a fixed target, $e + N \to \mu +N$, $e + N \to \tau +N$ and $\mu + N \to \tau +N$, focusing on elastic interactions with a…
We investigate the sensitivity of electron-proton ($ep$) colliders for charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) in an effective theory approach, considering a general effective Lagrangian for the conversion of an electron into a muon or a tau…
The COMET experiment at J-PARC, Japan, aims to search for muon to electron conversion with aluminium nuclei, achieving a sensitivity four orders of magnitude higher than the current upper limit at a 90% confidence level. The proton beam…
The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for coherent, neutrino-less conversion of negative muons into electrons in the field of an Aluminum nucleus, $\mu^- + Al \to e^- +Al$. Data collection start is planned for the end of 2021. The…
The Mu2e and COMET $\mu \rightarrow e$ conversion experiments are expected to significantly advance limits on new sources of charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV). Almost all theoretical work in the field has focused on just two operators.…
The experimental sensitivity to $\mu \to e$ conversion on nuclei is expected to improve by four orders of magnitude in coming years. We consider the impact of $\mu \to e$ flavour-changing tensor and axial-vector four-fermion operators which…
The Mu2e experiment, under construction at Fermilab, will search for the neutrino-less coherent $\mu^-N\rightarrow e^-N$ conversion in the field of a $^{27}$Al nucleus. Such a process violates lepton flavor conservation. About $60\%$ of…
New mu-to-e conversion searches aim to advance limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by four orders of magnitude. By considering P and CP selection rules and the structure of possible charge and current densities, we show that…
The search for lepton flavour violation in charged lepton decays is highly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Among the possible processes, $\mu$-decays are considered to have the largest discovery potential in most of the…
MECO will search for direct evidence of muon and electron flavor violation in the decay of muons in Coulomb bound states via coherent recoil of the nucleus and decay electron. The expected sensitivity to the $\mu^{-} {\rm N} \to e^{-} +…
We chart new-physics models that produce exotic, high-multiplicity muon decays featuring prompt or displaced $e^+e^-$ pairs and/or photons, with or without missing energy, such as $\mu \to 5e$, $\mu \to 7e$, etc. Starting from an…
The rate for $\mu\to e$ conversion in nuclei is set to provide the most stringent test of lepton-flavor symmetry and a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. However, to disentangle new lepton-flavor-violating interactions, in…
The AlCap experiment is a joint project between the COMET and Mu2e collaborations. Both experiments intend to look for the lepton-flavour violating conversion $\mu + A \rightarrow e + A$, using tertiary muons from high-power pulsed proton…
We assess the model discriminating power of a combined phenomenological analysis of mu -> e gamma and mu -> e conversion on different target nuclei, including the current hadronic uncertainties. We find that the theoretical uncertainties…
The search for charged lepton flavour violation (CLFV) has enormous discovery potential in probing new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Among the muonic CLFV processes, $\mu \to e$ conversion is one of the most important processes,…
A detailed study of the muonic analogue of neutrinoless double beta decay, (muon^-,muon^+) conversion, has been carried out for the A=44 nuclear system. We studied several lepton number violating (LNV) mechanisms potentially triggering this…
Lepton flavor violation is one of the cleanest probes of physics beyond the standard model. In this work, we explore the sensitivity of the process $e^+ e^- \to \tau \mu$ to new physics above the TeV scale at the proposed circular…
The non-photonic neutrino exchange mechanism of the lepton flavor violating muon-electron conversion in nuclei is revisited. First we determine the nucleon coupling constants for the neutrino exchange mechanism in a relativistic quark model…
Two Higgs doublet models are attractive scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, lepton-specific manifestations remain contenders to explain the observed discrepancy between the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon…
The experimental sensitivity to $\mu \to e$ conversion will improve by four or more orders of magnitude in coming years, making it interesting to consider the "spin-dependent" (SD) contribution to the rate. This process does not benefit…
