Progress LFV (lepton flavor violation)
Motivation The tau lepton is a convenient probe in the search for BSM physics. In SM, it is assumed that the electroweak couplings between the three generations of leptons are universal, and that the three lepton family numbers are individually conserved. The latter assumption is violated in the neutral sector by the observation of neutrino oscillations. Via loop diagrams, this induces also lepton flavor violation among charged leptons (cLFV). The rates of such processes are however negligible, so that any observation of cLFV would be an unambiguous signal for BSM physics
