ABSTRACT

A search for lepton-flavor-violating process
e+e-→eμ in the energy region
s=984-1060MeV with the SND detector at the VEPP-2M
e+e- collider is reported. The model independent
90% C.L. upper limits on the e+e-→eμ cross
section, σeμ<8pb, as well as on the corresponding
ϕ→eμ branching fraction,
B(ϕ→eμ)<2×10-6 have been obtained, for
the polar angles 55°<θ<125° of the final particles.

##### Article: New bounds on lepton flavor violating decays of vector mesons and the Z0 boson
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We give an estimate for the upper bounds on rates of lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays M to mu(pm) + e(mp) of vector mesons M = rho0, omega, phi, J/psi, Upsilon and the Z0 boson in a model independent way, analyzing the corresponding lowest dimension effective operators. These operators also contribute to nuclear mu-e-conversion. Based on this observation and using the existing experimental limits on this LFV nuclear process, we show that the studied two-body LFV decays of vector bosons are strongly suppressed independent on the explicit realization of new physics. The upper limits on the rates of some of these decays are significantly more stringent than similar limits known in the literature. In view of these results experimental observation of the two-body LFV decays of vector bosons looks presently unrealistic.

##### Article: Probing Leptonic Interactions of a Family-Nonuniversal Z' Boson
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We explore a Z' boson with family-nonuniversal couplings to charged leptons. The general effect of Z-Z' mixing, of both kinetic and mass types, is included in the analysis. Adopting a model-independent approach, we perform a comprehensive study of constraints on the leptonic Z' couplings from currently available experimental data on a number of flavor-conserving and flavor-changing transitions. Detailed comparisons are made to extract the most stringent bounds on the leptonic couplings. Such information is fed into predictions of various processes that may be experimentally probed in the near future.
