Searching for New Physics through LFV Processes

Abstract

Muon lepton flavor processes are reviewed in connection with search for physics beyond the standard model. Several methods to distinguish different theoretical models are discussed for $\mu \to e\gamma$, $\mu \to 3e$, and $\mu -e$ conversion processes. New calculation of the $\mu -e$ conversion rate is presented including a Higgs boson mediated effect in the supersymmetric seesaw model.
