Search for Lepton Flavor Violation in Z and Higgs decays with the CMS Experiment

The standard model of particle physics explicitly conserves lepton flavor in particle interactions in spite of the absence of an underlying symmetry. The observation of neutrino oscillation proves neutral lepton flavor violation (LFV) and thus motivates a search for violations in charged lepton inte...

description The standard model of particle physics explicitly conserves lepton flavor in particle interactions in spite of the absence of an underlying symmetry. The observation of neutrino oscillation proves neutral lepton flavor violation (LFV) and thus motivates a search for violations in charged lepton interactions. Here, searches for LFV performed by the CMS collaboration in leptonic decays of the Z and Higgs boson are presented. The data analyzed contains $19.7\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$\, ($2.3\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$) of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8\,(13)\,\mathrm{TeV}$ delivered by the LHC during 2012 (2015).
