Sensitivity Study of Searching for ${\tau }^{-}\to \gamma {\mu }^{-}$ at HIEPA

Abstract

The charged lepton flavor violation process is a clean and sensitive probe of new physics beyond the Standard Model. A sensitivity study is performed to the process ${\tau }^{-}\to \gamma {\mu }^{-}$ based on a 3~fb${}^{-1}$ inclusive Monte Carlo sample of $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26 or 4.6~GeV, in the framework of the BESIII software system. The 90\% confidence level upper limits on $\BR(τ^- \to γμ^-)$ are estimated assuming no signal is produced. We also obtain the sensitivity on $\BR(τ^- \to γμ^-)$ as a function of the integrated luminosity, to serve as a reference for the HIEPA being proposed in China. It is found that 6.34~ab${}^{-1}$ are needed to reach the current best upper limit of $4.4\times 10^{-8}$ and about 2510~ab${}^{-1}$ are needed to reach a sensitivity of $10^{-9}$ if the detector design is similar to that of BESIII.
