We present the result of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decay $\tau^- \to \mu^-\mu^+\mu^-$ using a $424fb^{-1}$ sample of data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB $e^{-}e^{+}$ collider. The selection of $e^{-}e^{+}\to\tau^+\tau^-$ events is based on an inclusive reconstruction of the non-signal tau decay, and on a boosted decision tree to suppress background. We observe one signal candidate, which is compatible with the expectation from background processes. We set a $90\%$ confidence level upper limit of $1.9 \times 10^{-8}$ on the branching fraction of the \taumu decay, which is the most stringent bound to date.

Global analysis of a minimally extended scotogenic model
hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0
Numerical scan of minimally extended scotogenic model constrains fermionic DM to 120-350 GeV and CP-odd scalar to 350-600 GeV while noting DESI BAO data may rule out inverted neutrino hierarchy.
