چکیده
Motivated by the strong experimental evidence of large νμ −ντ neutrino oscillations, we study existing constraints for related μ − τ flavor violation. Using a general bottom-up approach, we construct dimension-6 effective fermionic operators whose coefficients encode the scale of new physics associated with μ−τ flavor violation, which is a piece in the puzzle of the origin of neutrino oscillations. We survey existing experimental bounds on this scale, which arise mostly from τ and B decays. In many cases the new physics scale is constrained to be above a few TeV. We also discuss the operators which are either weakly constrained or, at present, subject to no experimental bounds.

I review the phenomenology of new physics in low energy processes using the notion of minimal flavor violation (vs. non-minimal flavor violation). I compare the predictions of beyond-the-standard models and show that among certain observables in rare b-decays pattern arise, which allow to distinguish between extensions of the Standard Model. I discuss the status and future of the model independ...

We present an update of previous work on charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the seesaw model. The most recent neutrino data fits and post WMAP mSUGRA benchmark scenarios are used as input. In this framework we compare the sensitivity of rare radiative decays on the right-handed Ma-jorana mass scale M R with the reach in slepton-pair production at a future linear collider.

A deep inerastic scattering process µN → τ X is discussed to study lepton flavor violation between muons and tau leptons. In supersymmetric models, the Higgs boson mediated diagrams could be important for this reaction. We find that at a muon energy (Eµ) higher than 50 GeV, the predicted cross section significantly increases due to the contribution from sea b-quarks. The number of produced tau ...
