AbstractMotivated by the recent LHCb results of lepton flavour violation on $$b\rightarrow s$$ b → s and $$b\rightarrow c$$ b → c transitions we study the lepton flavour violating (LFV) baryonic decays $${\Lambda }_{b}\rightarrow {\Lambda }l_{i}^{+}l_{j}^{-}$$ Λ b → Λ l i + l j - in non-universal $$Z^{\prime }$$ Z ′ model. We discuss the two-fold decay distribution of $${\Lambda }_{b}\rightarrow {\Lambda }l_{i}^{+}l_{j}^{-}$$ Λ b → Λ l i + l j - decays in terms of transversity amplitudes. From this distribution we study the differential branching ratio and lepton side forward-backward asymmetry in new physics (NP). The predicted values of the observables are very interesting and that might emboss the footprints of NP more aesthetically.

Tests of lepton flavour universality in B decays offer an excellent opportunity to test the Standard Model, and show hints of new physics in analyses performed by the LHCb, Belle and BaBar experiments. Several theoretical models proposed to explain possible violation of lepton flavour universality claim a connection with lepton flavour violation in B decays. These proceedings review the experimental status of the tests of lepton flavour universality and the searches of lepton flavour violation in B decays.

AbstractLepton flavour violation (LFV) naturally occurs in many new physics models, specifically in those explaining the B anomalies. While LFV has already been studied for mesonic decays, it is important to consider also baryonic decays mediated by the same quark transition. In this paper, we study LFV in the baryonic $$\Lambda _b \rightarrow \Lambda \ell _1 \ell _2$$ Λ b → Λ ℓ 1 ℓ 2 using for the first time a full basis of New Physics operators. We present expected bounds on the branching ratio in a model-independent framework and using two specific new physics models. Finally, we point out the interplay and orthogonality between the baryonic and mesonic LFV searches.

Lepton flavour is a conserved quantity in the standard model of particle physics, but it does not follow from an underlying gauge symmetry. After the discovery of neutrino oscillation, it has been established that lepton flavour is not conserved in the neutral sector. Thus the lepton sector is an excellent place to look for New Physics, and in this perspective the Charged Lepton Flavour Violation is interesting. Various extensions of the standard model predict lepton flavour violating decays that can be observed at LHC. This report summarises several searches for lepton flavour violation with data collected by the CMS detector.

The MEG experiment has recently set a new upper limit on the branching ratio of the µ+ → e+γ decay, ℬ(µ+ → e+γ) < 4.2 × 10−13 (at 90% confidence level) and un upgrade of the experiment (the MEGII experiment) is ongoing with the aim of improving the single event sensitivity (SES) by one order of magnitude with respect to the previous MEG experiment’s SES. The strong scientific motivation associated with the charged Lepton Flavour Violation (cLFV) searches pushes also towards searching for the complementary muon cLFV µ+ → e+e+e− decay with a completely new apparatus, the Mu3e experiment, aiming at a SES improved by at least three orders of magnitude with respect to the previous SINDRUM experiment’s SES (Mu3e phase I). An ultimate SES of few ×10−16 is foreseen requiring 109 µ/s (Mu3e phase II). Both experiments will be hosted at the Paul Scherrer Institut which currently delivers the most intense continuous low energy muon beam in the world up to few ×108 µ/s. The status of both the MEGII and Mu3e phase I experiments is given.

Abstract Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV) is New Physics that must occur, but is stringently constrained by experiments searching for μ ↔ e flavour change, such as μ → eγ, μ →$$ e\overline{e}e $$ e e ¯ e or μ → e conversion. However, in an Effective Field Theory(EFT) parametrisation, there are many more μ ↔ e operators than restrictive constraints, so determining operator coefficients from data is a remote dream. It is nonetheless interesting to learn about New Physics from data, so this manuscript introduces “observable-vectors” in the space of operator coefficients, which identify at any scale the combination of coefficients probed by the observable. These vectors have an overlap ≳ 10−3 with most of the coefficients, and are used to study whether μ → eγ, μ →$$ e\overline{e}e $$ e e ¯ e and μ → e conversion give complementary information about New Physics. The appendix gives updated sensitivities of these processes, (and a subset of τ → ℓ decays), to operator coefficients at the weak scale in the SMEFT and in the EFT below mW.
