Description
The tau lepton, the heaviest charged lepton in the third generation, is a sensitive probe
to New Physics (NP). In particular, lepton flavor violating (LFV) tau decays are of great
interest, as many NP models predict their branching fractions in a range accessible by
current and near future experiments. They also provide information of NP, complementary
to LFV processes in the muon.
In this talk, we will summarize the present status of searches for tau LFV decays at Belle
and BaBar, as well as LHCb. We will also briefly discuss future prospect in the near future
experiments.
