✦ Synopsis

In light of the discovery of neutrino oscillations, charged-lepton flavor violating (CLFV) processes (like μ → eγ and μ → e-conversion in nuclei) are guaranteed to occur. The rates for such processes, however, depend dramatically on the mechanism behind neutrino masses and on whether there are new degrees of freedom, beyond those of the standard model, at the TeV scale. After discussing CLFV in a model independent way, I briefly explore its connection with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), neutrino masses, leptogenesis and the current unexpected results regarding the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. CLFV observables provide an excellent diagnostics tool for the new physics that may be discovered at the LHC and may prove to be among the ultimate probes of physics beyond the TeV scale. * I am happy to thank the organizers for the invitation and for putting together an excellent conference in a very relaxed and stimulating venue. This work is sponsored in part by the US Department of Energy Contract DE-FG02-91ER40684.

Lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the charged sector has been gaining great interests these days. Experimental researches looking for muon LFV such as MEG and MECO are in preparation, and aiming to discover the muon LFV signal within this decade. There is also another activity called PRISM/PRIME proj

Neutrino oscillations give clear evidence for non-vanishing neutrino masses and lepton-flavor violation (LFV) in the neutrino sector. This provides strong motivation to search for signals of LFV also in the charged lepton sector, and to probe the SUSY see-saw mechanism. We compare the sensitivity of

The ratio R K = Γ(K ± → e ± ν)/Γ(K ± → μ ± ν) between the two leptonic decay rates of charged kaons is precisely predicted within the Standard Model (SM). A recent theoretical work noticed that SUSY extensions of the SM can induce mu-electron universality violation in such a way to introduce a shift
