A future high-luminosity Z-factory will offer the possibility to study rare Z decays, as those leading lepton flavour violating final states. Processes such → ℓ 1 ∓ 2 ± are potentially complementary low-energy (high-intensity) observables of violation.

We address the impact of a modified $W \ell \nu$ coupling on wide range observables, such as $\tau$ leptonic and mesonic decays, decays pseudoscalar mesons, well semileptonic meson decays. In particular, we concentrate deviations from lepton flavour universality, focusing ratios $R_{P} = \Gamma (P \to \nu) / \ell' \nu)$, with $P=K, \pi, D, D_s$, $R(D)={\Gamma (B^+ D \tau^+ \nu)}/{\Gamma D\ell^+ \nu)}$, $R \tau={\Gamma (\tau\to \mu\nu\nu)}/{\Gamma e\nu\nu)}$, $R^{\ell \tau}_P=\Gamma(\tau\to...

An observation of any lepton number violating process will undoubtedly point towards the existence new physics and indirectly to clear Majorana nature exchanged fermion. In this work, we explore potential a minimal extension Standard Model via heavy sterile fermions with masses in $[ 0.1 - 10]$ GeV range concerning an extensive array "neutrinoless" meson tau decay processes. We assume that neutrinos are produced on-shell, focus on three-body decays. conduct update bounds active-sterile...

A light singlino in the NMSSM can reduce considerably missing transverse energy at end of sparticle decay cascades; instead, NMSSM-specific Higgs bosons be produced. Such scenarios consistent with present constraints from LHC all masses below ∼1 TeV. We discuss search strategies, which do not rely on energy, for such next run near 14

We address the impact of sterile fermion states on anomalous magnetic moment charged leptons, as well their contribution to neutrinoless double beta decays. illustrate our results in a minimal, effective extension Standard Model by one state, and well-motivated framework neutrino mass generation, embedding Inverse Seesaw into Model. The simple "3+1" case succeeds alleviating tension related muon moment, albeit only at 3σ level, for light (corresponding cosmologically disfavoured regime)....

The European Particle Physics Strategy Update (EPPSU) process takes a bottom-up approach, whereby the community is first invited to submit proposals (also called inputs) for projects that it would like see realised in near-term, mid-term and longer-term future. National inputs as well from Laboratories are also an important element of process. All these then reviewed by Preparatory Group (PPG), whose role organize Symposium around submitted ideas prepare discussion on importance merits...

We systematically investigate constraints on the parameters of supersymmetric type-I seesaw mechanism from requirement successful thermal leptogenesis in presence upper bounds reheat temperature TRH early Universe. To this end, we solve flavour-dependent Boltzmann equations MSSM, extended to include reheating. With conservative TRH, leading mildly constrained scenarios for leptogenesis, compatibility with observation can be obtained extensive new regions parameter space, due effects. On...

The viability of the lightest neutralino as a dark matter candidate in Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is analysed. We carry out thorough analysis parameter space, taking into account accelerator constraints well bounds on low-energy observables, such muon anomalous magnetic moment and rare $K$ $B$ meson decays. relic density also evaluated consistency with present imposed.

In the framework of NMSSM with a singlino-like LSP, we study quantitatively impact additional bino -> singlino cascade on efficiencies in several search channels for supersymmetry ATLAS and CMS collaborations. Compared to MSSM, reduces missing transverse energy, but leads jets or leptons. For benchmark lines which generalize cMSSM points, most relevant 2/3 jet + energy can drop by factors ~1/3 ~1/7, reduce present lower bounds M_{1/2} as much ~0.9 - 0.75 large bino-singlino mass differences....

In the case where Standard Model is extended by one heavy Majorana fermion, branching fractions of semileptonic meson decays into same-sign and opposite-sign dileptons are expected to be same order. As we discuss here, this need not in extensions at least two sterile fermions, due possible destructive constructive interferences that might arise. Depending on $CP$ violating phases, can have an enhancement lepton number modes suppression conserving ones (and vice-versa). We explore for first...

Heavy neutral leptons are motivated by several extensions of the Standard Model and their presence induces modifications in lepton mixing matrix, including new Dirac Majorana CP violating phases. It has been recently shown that these phases play an important role number flavour decays transitions, with a striking impact for predicted rates certain observables. In this work, we now consider potential heavy fermions Higgs $Z$-boson $H,Z\to \ell_\alpha^\pm\ell_\beta^\mp$, as well corresponding...

We consider the fully constrained version of next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension standard model (cNMSSM) in which a singlet Higgs superfield is added to two doublets that are present minimal (MSSM). Assuming universal boundary conditions at high scale for soft supersymmetry-breaking mass parameters as well trilinear interactions, we find more than celebrated supergravity model. The phenomenologically viable region parameter space cNMSSM corresponds small value scalar ${m}_{0}$: this...
