This dissertation reviews the Standard Model formalism as well as the Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decay processes which cause its extension, known as the physics beyond the SM. Firstly, using the experimental bounds on three body LFV decays, the corresponding bounds on two body LFV decays are reviewed. The dynamical suppression of three body LFV decays due to momentum dependent couplings is also reviewed. Secondly, the role of the LFV decays to explain the LSND excess is discussed in detail, for which the experimental bounds on three body LFV decays, i.e. mu -> 3e are used to constraint the coupling tilde{g}_{Z_{mu e}}, which is needed to calculate the anomalous muon decay mu -> e u_lbar{ u}_l. Then comparing the effective coupling of anomalous muon decay to r>1.6times 10^{-3} [9809524], it is proved that LFV is not the correct hypothesis to explain the LSND excess. Finally, LFV decays at loop order are studied in Seesaw model of neutrino masses [PRL. 86 2502 (2001)] where the smallness of the Seesaw neutrino mass may be naturally realized with m_N (mass of right-handed singlet neutrinos) of order 1 TeV. It is shown that the Higgs mass of a new scalar doublet with lepton number L=-1 needed in the model has to be larger than 50 TeV to get the branching ratio of mu -> 3e to be consistent with the existing bound on mu -> 3e. This defeats the original motivation of the model, namely that there is no physics beyond the TeV energy scale.

The lepton flavor violating $Z^{prime}totaumu$ decay is studied in the context of several extended models that predict the existence of the new gauge boson named $Z^prime$. A calculation of the strength of the lepton flavor violating $Z^primemutau$ c
oupling is presented by using the most general renormalizable Lagrangian that includes lepton flavor violation. We used the experimental value of the muon magnetic dipole moment to bound this coupling, from which the $mathrm{Re}(Omega_{Lmutau}Omega^ast_{Rmutau})$ parameter is constrained and it is found that $mathrm{Re}(Omega_{Lmutau}Omega^ast_{Rmutau})sim 10^{-2}$ for a $Z^prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. Alongside, we employed the experimental restrictions over the $tautomugamma$ and $tautomumu^+mu^-$ processes in the context of several models that predict the existence of the $Z^prime$ gauge boson to bound the mentioned coupling. The most restrictive bounds come from the calculation of the three-body decay. For this case, it was found that the most restrictive result is provided by a vector-like coupling, denoted as $|Omega_{mutau}|^2$, for the $Z_chi$ case, finding around $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. We used this information to estimate the branching ratio for the $Z^primetotaumu$ decay. According to the analyzed models the least optimistic result is provided by the Sequential $Z$ model, which is of the order of $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^prime$ boson mass around 2 TeV.
We present a new constraint on a lepton mixing matrix $V$ from lepton-flavor violating (LFV) processes in supersymmetric standard models with massive neutrinos. Here, we assume Yukawa-coupling unification $f_{ u 3}simeq f_{rm top}$, in which $tau$-ne
utrino Yukawa coupling $f_{ u 3}$ is unified into top-quark Yukawa coupling $f_{rm top}$ at the unification scale $M_*simeq 3times 10^{16}$ GeV. We show that the present experimental bound on $mu to e gamma$ decay already gives a stringent limit on the lepton mixing (typically $V_{13}<0.02$ for $V_{23}=1/sqrt{2}$). Therefore, many existing neutrino-mass models are strongly constrained. Future improvement of bounds on LFV processes will provide a more significant impact on the models with the Yukawa-coupling unification. We also stress that a precise measurement of a neutrino mixing $(V_{MNS})_{e3}$ in future neutrino experiments would be very important, since the observation of non-zero $(V_{MNS})_{e3}$, together with negative experimental results for the LFV processes, have a robust potential to exclude a large class of SUSY standard models with the Yukawa-coupling unification.
We study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays Z-> l_i l_j (l_{i,j}=e,mu,tau) in the framework of the minimal 331 model. The main contributions arise at the one-loop level via a doubly charged bilepton with general LFV couplings. We obtain an esti
mate for the corresponding branching ratios by using the bounds on the LFV couplings of the doubly charged bilepton from the current experimental limits on the decays l_i-> l_jgamma and l_i-> l_j l_k l_k. A bound on the bilepton mass is also obtained through the current limit on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. It is found that the bilepton contributions to LFV Z decays are not expected to be at the reach of experimental detection. In particular, the branching ratio for the Z-> mu tau decay is below the 10^{-10} level for a bilepton mass of the order of 500 GeV.
Exotic Higgs decays are promising channels to discover new physics in the near future. We present a simple model with a new light scalar that couples to the Standard Model through a charged lepton-flavor violating interaction. This can yield exciting
new signatures, such as $h to e^+ e^+ mu^-mu^-$, that currently have no dedicated searches at the Large Hadron Collider. We discuss this model in detail, assess sensitivity from flavor constraints, explore current constraints from existing multi-lepton searches, and construct a new search strategy to optimally target these exotic, lepton-flavor violating Higgs decays.
We assess the status of past and future experiments on lepton flavor violating (LFV) muon and tau decays into a light, invisible, axion-like particle (ALP), $a$. We propose a new experimental setup for MEG II, the MEGII-fwd, with a forward calorimete
r placed downstream from the muon stopping target. Searching for $mu to e a$ decays MEGII-fwd is maximally sensitive to LFV ALPs, if these have nonzero couplings to right-handed leptons. The experimental set-up suppresses the (left-handed) Standard Model background in the forward direction by controlling the polarization purity of the muon beam. The reach of MEGII-fwd is compared with the present constraints, the reach of Mu3e and the Belle-II reach from $tau to ell a$ decays. We show that a dedicated experimental campaign for LFV muon decays into ALPs at MEG II and Mu3e will be able to probe the ALP parameter space in an unexplored region well beyond the existing astrophysical constraints. We study the implications of these searches for representative LFV ALP models, where the presence of a light ALP is motivated by neutrino masses, the strong CP problem and/or the SM flavor puzzle. To this extent we discuss the majoron in low-scale seesaw setups and introduce the LFV QCD axion, the LFV axiflavon and the leptonic familon, paying particular attention to the cases where the LFV ALPs constitute cold dark matter.
