The observation of massive neutrino oscillations indicate that lepton flavour is violated beyond the renormalizable standard model (SM). However, extending the SM by merely the existence of neutrino oscillations does not predict an observably large signal in charged lepton flavour violating (cLFV) searches. Therefore, a detection of cLFV would represent a genuine signal of new physics effects...

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a hypothetical nuclear process which, if observed, would have far-reaching implications in particle physics. Being a lepton number violating process, the observation of 0νββ is direct evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. In addition, it would prove that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and contribute to the determination of the neutrino mass...

The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed program to build an underground cavern with the space and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in the High Luminosity era (HL-LHC). The Forward Liquid Argon Experiment (FLArE) is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC)-based experiment designed to detect very high energy neutrinos and...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation neutrino experiment currently under construction. DUNE will consist of two high-resolution neutrino interaction imaging detectors exposed to the world’s most intense neutrino beam, with the Near Detector at Fermilab and the Far Detector 1,300 km away in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, US.
The...

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant elementary particles in our universe. They play important, even dominant, roles in many of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena, while also serving as unique messengers from the deep stellar interiors. Historically, studies of solar neutrinos gave us the first observation of physics beyond the Standard Model, while also providing an important probe...

The IceCube experiment is sensitive to tau neutrinos spanning over six orders of magnitude in energy, from atmospheric and astrophysical sources. We report on IceCube results, focusing on atmospheric tau neutrino appearance and our recent astrophysical tau neutrino detection. We also provide estimated sensitivities for future analyses, including those to be performed with the approved IceCube Upgrade.

Recent R&D work associated with upgrading the SuperKEKB e+e− collider with polarized electron beams is presented. The Chiral Belle physics program enables a set of unique precision measurements using the Belle II detector. It includes a set of measurements of $\sin^2\theta_W$ via separate left-right asymmetry ($A_{LR}$) measurements in annihilations to pairs of electrons, muons, taus, charm...

The experimental uncertainty on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been significantly reduced with the recent results of the Fermilab g-2 experiment, and a further reduction is expected in the near future. The precision of the Standard Model prediction needs to improve correspondingly to increase the sensitivity of tests for physics beyond the Standard Model. The largest uncertainty...

Hadronic tau decay experiments provide an alternative determination of the Hadronic Vacuum Polarization for Muon g-2. The difference in the hadronic cross section between tau-decay and electron-positron collision must be corrected. We review our strategies for such isospin-breaking correction using first-principle Lattice QED+QCD predictions.

Processes involving charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) are very powerful tools to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model and their observation could provide important insight onto the origin of neutrino masses. Probes of CLFV exist across a broad spectrum of energy scales, from low-energy experiments looking for CLFV decays of the muon, of the tau lepton and of a variety of...

HFLAV performs a global fit of the tau branching franctions measurements and, for several tau decay modes searches, a combination of the measured upper limits. The status and prospects of these fits are presented.

FASER, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment, is designed to search for light, extremely weakly-interacting and long-lived beyond standard model particles at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Such particles, e.g., dark photons, may be produced in the high-energy proton-proton collisions at the ATLAS interaction point and then decay to visible particles in FASER, which is placed 480 m downstream and...

A dedicated study of additional radiation in e+e−→μ+μ−γ and e+e−→π+π−γ initial-state-radiation events is presented using the full BABAR data sample. Results are presented at next-to- and next-to-next-to-leading order, with one and two additional photons, respectively, for radiation from the initial and final states. Comparison with predictions from Phokhara and AfkQed Monte Carlo generators is...

We present a partial-wave analysis of $\tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^- \pi^+ \nu$ decays recorded with the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. This work provides information on the a1(1420) and a1(1640) resonances, and aims to improve simulation studies necessary for measuring the electric and magnetic dipole moments and Michel parameters of the tau lepton.

In the Standard Model (SM), charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) is highly suppressed to a negligible level by the finite but tiny neutrino masses. The BESIII experiment is a symmetric e+e- collider operating at c.m. energy from 2.0 to 4.95 GeV and has collected the world’s largest data set of J/psi (10 Billion), psi(2S) (2.7 Billion) on production threshold, and about 25 fb^-1 scan data...
