6. Searches for $\mu \to e \gamma$: present and future

Francesco Renga

Talk

The quest for $\mu \to e \gamma$ is one of the most important endeavors to search for New Physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk I will review the current status of the experimental searches by the MEG Collaboration at PSI. I will also present a study of the experimental limiting factors that will define the ultimate performances, and hence the sensitivity, in the search for $\mu \to...

14. Challenges to Lepton Universality in B Meson Decays

Talk

One of the key assumptions of the Standard Model of particle physics is that the interactions of the charged leptons, namely electrons, muons and taus, differ only because of their different masses. Recent studies of B-meson decays involving the higher-mass tau lepton have resulted in observations that challenge lepton universality at the level of four standard deviations. A summary of recent...
