Beyond the Standard Model

◮ Neutrino oscillations provided the 1st laboratory evidence of New Physics

⇒⇒⇒ SM must be clearly extended (or embedded in a larger framework)!

Several possible models successfully account for ννν data

such extensions might even allow to address SM caveats

hints to the flavour puzzle ? BAU via leptogenesis ? DM candidates ?

[ presentations by A. De Gouvea, F. Feruglio, C. Hagedorn and P. Di Bari ]

◮ Gateway to new experimental signals (deviation from SM) in the lepton sector:

Lepton Number Violation (if Majorana) - 0ν2β0ν2β0ν2β, meson decays, colliders, ...

[ presentation by F. Deppisch ]

Lepton flavour universality violation - weak boson and meson decays.. (e.g. RKRKRK)

Electric dipole moments and Anomalous magnetic moments

Violation of lepton flavour - in charged sector as well?

Possible - yes... but not observable!!

◮ “Observable” cLFV ⇒ New Physics in the lepton sector - beyond SMmνmνmν

Are neutral and charged LFV related?

Does cLFV arise from ν-mass mechanism? Or entirely different nature?

Signals of Lepton Flavour Violation

◮ Rare leptonic decays and transitions [high-intensity facilities]

nucleus assisted µ− eµ− eµ− e transitions, Muonium channels...

◮ Meson decays: violation of lepton flavour universality (e.g. RKRKRK)

lepton Number violating decays - B → Dµ−µ−B → Dµ−µ−B → Dµ−µ−, ...

lepton flavour violating decays - B → τµB → τµB → τµ, ... [high-intensity; LHCb]

◮ Rare (new) heavy particle decays (typically model-dependent) [colliders]

SM boson decays: H → τµH → τµH → τµ, Z → ℓiℓjZ → ℓiℓjZ → ℓiℓj

SUSY ℓi → ℓjχ0ℓi → ℓjχ0ℓi → ℓjχ0; FV KK-excitation decays; ...

LFV final states: for example, e±e− → e±µ− + Emisse±e− → e±µ− + Emisse±e− → e±µ− + Emiss

◮ And many others ... all absent in the SM!

Interpreting experimental data (bounds & measurements)

◮ What is required of a SM extension to have “observable” cLFV?li lj

γ

New

Physics

Pheno approaches:

Effective approach (model-independent)

Model dependent (specific NP scenario)

◮ From an “effective approach”, NP can lead to “observable cLFV”, introducing:

(i) new sources of flavour violation ⇒ new effective couplings

(ii) new Lorentz structure other than “standard” interactions ⇒ new operators

◮ Preferred NP model? most lead to extensive ranges for cLFV observables...

More than a NP signal, cLFV can be a powerful probe to test NP realisations:

1. Probe NP scales beyond collider reach

2. Hint on fundamental properties and/or parameters of the model

3. Allow to disentangle between candidate NP models

4. Ultimately lead to disfavouring (exclusion) of a BSM candidate

Models of New Physics and cLFV: some examples

◮ Generic cLFV extensions of the SM - supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the SM

cLFV observables at low- and high-energies (interplay) to constrain LSUSYsoft

correlation of cLFV observables ⇒ hint on the nature (dipole vs scalar) of NP operator

◮ “Geometric” cLFV - extra dimensional Randall-Sundrum models

e− µ bounds constrain NP scale beyond LHC reach: TKK & 4 TeV ( KK(1st) & 10 TeV)

future sensitivities: exclude (general) anarchic RS models up to 8 TeV ( mKK-g & 20 TeV)

[Beneke et al, 1508.01705]

◮ cLFV and compositness - Little(st) Higgs

distinctive patterns for ratios of observables (testability!)

[Blanke et al, ’09]

- Holographic composite Higgs

BR(µ → eγ) - constrain the size of boundary kinetic terms

⇒ relevant information on fundamental parameters from cLFV!

◮◮◮ Concluding remarks

Page 21: Theoretical aspects of charged Lepton Flavour …...Theoretical aspects of charged Lepton Flavour Violation a brief overview Ana M. Teixeira Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire,

Charged lepton flavour violation: outlook

◮◮◮ Flavour violation observed in quarks & neutral leptons...

why should Nature “conserve” charged lepton flavour?

◮◮◮ Lepton flavour violation and New Physics

cLFV observables can provide (indirect) information on the underlying NP model

⇒⇒⇒ Probe scales beyond collider reach, falsify NP candidates,

hint on fundamental parameters and/or new scales, ...

◮◮◮ Models of ννν-mass generation: well-motivated frameworks for cLFV

⇒⇒⇒ Several realisations lead to very rich phenomenology

cLFV and direct searches could substantiate the seesaw hypothesis !...

Page 22: Theoretical aspects of charged Lepton Flavour …...Theoretical aspects of charged Lepton Flavour Violation a brief overview Ana M. Teixeira Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire,

Charged lepton flavour violation: outlook

◮◮◮ In the lepton sector ννν oscillations provided 1st laboratory evidence of New Physics

New Physics can be manifest via cLFV even before any direct discovery!

Numerous observables currently being searched for!

⇒⇒⇒ very intensive worldwide experimental programme
