Declaration of Interest I am a member of BaBar (R.I.P.) and

LHCb. I’ve signed SOIs for SuperB and LHCb

upgrade. I’ve participated in discussions on UK

NA62 involvement.

The importance of Charged LFV Charge Lepton Flavour Violation (CLFV) is not a

fundamental symmetry of the Standard Model (SM). Even with neutrino oscillations, SM LFV BF is ~ (Mυ/ MW)4

~ 10-54. Compare with Quark Flavour Violation (QFV) which scales with log(mq).

Nearly all BSM theories have a LFV component. Even Minimal Quark Flavour Violating models (QFV

comes from the SM sector only) have a LFV component. Experiments are already eliminating models and/or

parameter space e.g. in τ+→l+l-l+ MFV BF predictions <10-

8, experimental upper limits <10-8. CLFV decays are much cleaner theoretically and

experimentally than QFV: Lepton decays (very few hadrons to worry about). Final state is often all charge tracks. Minimal non-perturbative QCD calculations needed.

The importance of Charged LFV Very high precision in some theory and experiment e.g.

muon g-2 at 0.5ppm. A driver to improve theoretical calculations and Lattice

QCD. A driver of experimental and accelerator techniques.

Essential to understand the flavour properties of the Higgs and SUSY. A vital cross-check and complementary measurement to the LHC.

If the Higgs/SUSY not found (or find hierarchy of new particles beyond 1TeV) then need to look at loop processes to probe higher mass scales (1-100 TeV).

LFV is can also effected by GUT-scale processes e.g. heavy υ in SeeSaw models.

All BSM models have a different hierarchy of predictions for various LFV decays. It is therefore vital to make as wide a range of LFV measurements as possible.

g-2: The Future Currently

Experimental accuracy 0.46 (stat)+/- 0.28 (syst)= 0.54 ppm (4.4x10 -10) Theory accuracy ~0.6 ppm (~6x10-10) Lattice accuracy ~1.5 ppm: aμ (had,LO) = (715±15)x 10-10 (from 2007, MILC)

Near Future 2012: ISR analyses from BaBar/Belle (see EPS09 possibly) Resonance scans BaBar/Belle KLOE-2 VEPP-2000: up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV BES III tau-charm factory Total error by 2012: Reduce error by factor 2 to 3.0x10-10?

Further Future: SuperB/BelleII

ISR and resonance scans. E821->E989

Double statistics but then need more muons to be feasible. JPARC/E989/Project X

Aim for 0.1(stat) +/-0.07 (syst) ppm Reduce total error by another factor 2 -> 1.5 x 10-10

Need more muons -> MICE Possiibility to measure muon EDM. Sensiitivity 10-19 e cm → 10-22-10-24 e cm

Kaon decays and ratios SM predictions (plus theoretical input

and corrections) exist for: BF(M-→l-υ) BF(K→lπυ(γ)) BF(K-,π-→l-υ(γ))

Charged Higgs will change the BF. LFV of a few % possible with

reasonable parameters. Measure BF and ratios (ratios eliminate

many theoretical uncertainties);

1. R = Kμ2(γ) / πμ2(γ) → Vus / Vud

2. RK = Ke2(γ) / Kμ2(γ) → LU Δr = RK (exp) – RK (SM) → New Physics?

3. rμe = Kμ3 / Ke3 → LU

4. Rl23 = Kμ2 / Kμ3 → LU

Lattice QCD : possible 5 – year plan Lattice QCD (Form Factors, VCKM, masses) is an

important input to some LFV measurements. Alternatively, assuming LF conservation,

improved experimental precision will drive LQCD.

Concluding Remarks There is no one “LFV experiment”. Highly interconnected set of measurements. Many measurements are still statistics

dominated but will become theory-dominated with next generation experiments.

Many SUSY models are already being challenged by LFV and LU measurements.

We can expect many measurement errors to improve as luminosity-1.

Flavour is essential to the understanding of the Higgs (SM and BSM) and SUSY.

It is important to measure LFV in tau and muon decays as different models predict different relative levels of tau and muon LFV.

Concluding Remarks g-2 is still a benchmark measurement. Hadronic

uncertainties can be understood from tau, charm, beauty and hadron experiments.

BSM models can be confirmed/excluded by measuring a set of golden-mode flavour decays.

The UK has built up a huge expertise in flavour physics over the last decade (both experimental and theoretical).

Flavour has a successful track record on flavour (on-time, on-budget).

A large fraction (30%?) of our community is interested in flavour physics.

Flavour is essential for the breadth of the field in the UK.

Without flavour physics, LHC discoveries will not be complete.
