A search is presented for a Higgs-like boson with mass in the range 45 to 195 GeV/$c^2$ decaying into a muon and a tau lepton. The dataset consists of proton-proton interactions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb$^{-1}$. The tau leptons are reconstructed in both leptonic and hadronic decay channels. An upper limit on the production cross-section multiplied by the branching fraction at 95% confidence level is set and ranges from 22 pb for a boson mass of 45 GeV/$c^2$ to 4 pb for a mass of 195 GeV/$c^2$.

A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^+ to K^+ {mu}^{pm} e^{mp}$ is performed using a sample of proton-proton collision data, collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8~{rm TeV}$ and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3$rm~fb^{-1}$. No significant signal is observed, and upper limits on the branching fractions are set as $mathcal{B}(B^+ to K^+ {mu}^- e^+) < 7.0~(9.5) times 10^{-9}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^+ to K^+ {mu}^+ e^-) < 6.4~(8.8) times 10^{-9}$ at 90 (95) % confidence level. The results improve the current best limits on these decays by more than one order of magnitude.
A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^0_s rightarrow e^pm mu^mp$ and $B^0 rightarrow e^pm mu^mp$ is performed based on a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The observed yields are consistent with the background-only hypothesis. Upper limits on the branching fractions are determined to be $mathcal{B}(B^0_s rightarrow e^pm mu^mp) < 5.4,(6.3) times 10^{-9}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^0 rightarrow e^pm mu^mp) < 1.0,(1.3) times 10^{-9}$ at $90%,(95%)$ confidence level, which are the strongest limits on these decays to date.

Charged lepton flavor violation is forbidden in the Standard Model but possible in several new physics scenarios. In many of these models, the radiative decays $tau^{pm}rightarrowell^{pm}gamma$ ($ell=e,mu$) are predicted to have a sizeable probabilit y, making them particularly interesting channels to search at various experiments. An updated search via $tau^{pm}rightarrowell^{pm}gamma$ using full data of the Belle experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 988 fb$^{-1}$, is reported for charged lepton flavor violation. No significant excess over background predictions from the Standard Model is observed, and the upper limits on the branching fractions, $mathcal{B}(tau^{pm}rightarrow mu^{pm}gamma)$ $leq$ $4.2times10^{-8}$ and $mathcal{B}(tau^{pm}rightarrow e^{pm}gamma)$ $leq$ $5.6times10^{-8}$, are set at 90% confidence level.
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.
