In light of the discovery of neutrino oscillations, charged-lepton flavor violating (CLFV) processes (like ฮผ โ eฮณ and ฮผ โ 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 d

โฆ Synopsis
MEG will test Lepton Flavor Violation in the ฮผ โ e + ฮณ down to an unprecedendet sensitivity. After an introduction to various scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model suggesting the possibility of LFV processes at a measurable level, the possibility of future experiments more sensitive to new physics is discussed in the following.

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
The current status of the experimental search for lepton flavor violation in rare muon decays is reviewed. The possible benefits of increasing the muon source intensity is examined for the different experimental situations.
The ratio R K = ฮ(K ยฑ โ e ยฑ ฮฝ)/ฮ(K ยฑ โ ฮผ ยฑ ฮฝ) between the two leptonic decay rates of charged kaons is precisely predicted within the Standard Model (SM).
