Koike et al. proposed the charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) decay of the muonic atom $mu^-e^-rightarrow e^-e^-$ as one of the promising processes to search for new physics beyond the standard model. It was found that the attractive interaction of leptons with the nucleus enhances the transition rate of the $mu^-e^-rightarrow e^-e^-$ process. We report on our improved analysis of this process by taking into account the distortion of the out-going electrons in the nuclear Coulomb potential and the relativistic treatment of the muon and the electrons. As results, we found significant enhancement of the transition rate. The transition rate for $^{208}$Pb becomes about 7 times larger than the previous estimation, which enhances the sensitivity of this process to discover the CLFV interaction. We also report on the energy spectrum of the out-going electron.

Charged lepton flavor violating muon decay ${mu}^+{rightarrow}e^+X_H$, where $X_H$ is a massive neutral boson, was sought by searching for extra peaks in the muon decay ${mu}^+{rightarrow}e^+{ u}bar{ u}$ energy spectrum in the $m_{X_H}$ mass region $47.8-95.1$ MeV/$c^2$. No signal was found and 90% confidence level upper limits were set on the branching ratio ${Gamma}({mu}^+{rightarrow}e^+X_H)/{Gamma}({mu}^+{rightarrow}e^+{ u}bar{ u})$ at the level of $10^{-5}$ for this region.
A sensitivity of the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider in a search for the rare decay $eta rightarrow e^+ e^-$ has been studied. The inverse reaction $e^+ e^- rightarrow eta$ is proposed for this search. We have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected with the SND detector in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV and found no background events for the reaction $e^+ e^- rightarrow eta$ in the decay mode $etatopi^0pi^0pi^0$. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to ${cal B}(eta rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ of $10^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation. Such a sensitivity is better than the current upper limit on ${cal B}(eta rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ by a factor of 2.3.
We study the muon pair production $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ in the framework of the non-minimal noncommutative(NC) standard model to the second order of the NC parameter $Theta_{mu u}$. The $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ momentum dependent NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the standard model. After including the effects of earths rotation we analyse the time-averaged and time dependent observables in detail. The time-averaged azimuthal distribution of the cross section shows siginificant departure from the standard model. We find strong dependence of the total cross section(time- averaged) and their distributions on the orientation of the noncommutative electric vector (${vec{Theta}}_E$). The periodic variation of the total cross-section with time over a day seems to be startling and can be thoroughly probed at the upcoming Linear Collider(LC).
We present the first measurements of branching fractions of rare tau-lepton decays, $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_{tau} ell^+ ell^-$ ($ell = e$ or $mu$), using a data sample corresponding to 562 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-$ decay is observed for the first time with 7.0$sigma$ significance. The partial branching fraction determined by the structure-dependent mechanisms mediated by either a vector or an axial-vector current for the mass region $M_{pi e e}>1.05$ GeV/$c^2$ is measured to be $mathcal{B}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-)[M_{pi^- e^+ e^-}>1.05~{rm GeV}/c^2] = (5.90 pm 0.53 pm 0.85 pm 0.11) times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the model dependence. In the full phase space, due to the different detection efficiencies for the structure-dependent mechanisms mediated by axial-vector and vector currents, the branching fraction varies from $mathcal{B}_{A}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-) = (1.46 pm 0.13 pm 0.21) times 10^{-5}$ to $mathcal{B}_{V}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau e^+ e^-) = (3.01 pm 0.27 pm 0.43) times 10^{-5}$, respectively. An upper limit is set on the branching fraction of the $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau mu^+ mu^-$ decay, $mathcal{B}(tau^-rightarrow pi^- u_tau mu^+ mu^-) < 1.14 times 10^{-5}$, at the 90% confidence level.
Using $4.479 times 10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$. The decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$ are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions are $mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}) = (11.7 pm 2.5 pm 1.0)times10^{-4}$, $(8.6 pm 0.3 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, $(6.9 pm 0.5 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, and $mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi) = (1.51 pm 0.30 pm 0.13)times10^{-4}$, $(3.73 pm 0.09 pm 0.25)times10^{-3}$, $(2.48 pm 0.08 pm 0.16)times10^{-3}$. The ratios of the branching fractions $frac{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2})}{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow gammachi_{c0,1,2})}$ and $frac{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi)}{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow gamma J/psi)}$ are also reported.
