Description

The connection of rare decays to supersymmetric grand unification is highlighted, and a review of the status of rare decay experiments is given. Plans for future investigations of processes that violate lepton flavor are discussed. A new result from the MEGA experiment, a search for μ+→e+γ, is reported to be B.R.<3.8x10-11 with 90% confidence. copyright 1997 American Institute of Physics
