Recent searches for lepton flavor violation
Description
No process which does not conserve lepton number has been observed. However, since this empirical information is incorporated in the standard model in an ad hoc fashion, searches for reactions which exhibit lepton flavor violation (LFV) may lead to new approaches or new constraints to further development. In this paper, limits from searches for muon-electron and muon-positron conversion in the field of a nucleus and for reactions μ → eX where X is a weakly interacting boson are discussed. New limits on μ → eγ(γ) (1) are presented elsewhere in these proceedings. A summary of the status of LFV searches is given in the final section
