Source: W

Trigger: Single-Muon L1: pT > 14 GeV HLT: pT > 19 GeV

Trigger: Di-Muon L1: pT > 3 GeV HLT: pT > 7 GeV

Looks okay

Does anybody know of a generator for this process ?

Can we improve a few channels at LHC ?Also look for LVF in Z-decays at LHC !

LFV tau-decays Interesting search for physics beyond the S.M. (SUSY and others )

b-factories will approach 10-8
