✦ Synopsis

Recent results and the current situation on the search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays are presented. Bfactories have successfully accumulated data samples of > 10 9 τ pairs, and recently performed searches for τ → 3 , V 0 and f0(980). The upper limit of the branching ratio was obtained to be ∼O( 10 -8 ). The results have ruled out some parts of the parameter space for the models beyond the Standard Model, such as the SUSY+seesaw mechanism.

The lepton flavour violating decay τ → μμμ is predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model with branching ratios partially next to the current experimental upper limit of 3.2 × 10 -8 . Therefore, lepton flavour violating τ decays are an interessant option in search of new physics.
