Description

Deviations from the Standard Model (SM) expectations of the Lepton Universality (LU) breaking represent a powerful tool to test the SM and, hence, to probe New Physics (NP) effects. Kaon and pion physics are obvious grounds where to perform such tests, for instance in the pi->l nu and K-> l nu decays, where l= e,mu. Supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the SM can exhibit mu-e non-universal contributions at an experimental visible level. We also discuss the LU breaking in B-physics sistems as well as in leptonic tau decays.
