Searches for lepton-flavor-violating decay of a tau lepton to a lighter mass lepton and a photon have been performed with the entire dataset of (963 +- 7) x 10^6 tau decays collected by the BaBar detector near the Upsilon(4S), Upsilon(3S) and Upsilon(2S) resonances. The searches yield no evidence of signals and we set upper limits on the branching fractions of BR(tau -> e gamma) < 3.3 x 10^-8 and BR(tau -> mu gamma) < 4.4 x 10^-8 at 90% confidence level.

  1. Dirac one-loop seesaw in a non-invertible fusion rule

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A one-loop Dirac neutrino mass model stabilized by a non-invertible fusion rule from Z3 x Z3' accommodates oscillation data and provides a viable bosonic dark matter candidate.

  2. Zee models with a non-invertible $Z_M$ symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Zee models are classified under non-invertible Z_M symmetries; viable candidates are identified from data consistency, and a Z_7 benchmark yields numerical predictions for neutrino parameters and CLFV rates.

  3. LFV decays in a 3-4-1 model with minimal inverse seesaw neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a 3-4-1 model with minimal inverse seesaw, strong correlations are predicted between (g-2) anomalies and LFV decay rates, with the tau to muon gamma decay bound limiting the muon anomaly deviation to 10^{-9}.

  4. Lepton flavor violating top quark FCNC processes at the $\mu$TRISTAN

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Projected constraints on four-fermion operators for μ e → t q at 346 GeV improve current LHC bounds by roughly an order of magnitude at 100 fb⁻¹ and more at 1 ab⁻¹.

  5. Doubly charged Higgs production within the Higgs triplet model at future electron-positron colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    CLIC offers superior discovery potential for doubly charged Higgs bosons in the Higgs triplet model compared to HL-LHC, reaching masses up to 1.2 TeV in gauge-like scenarios and high significance in Yukawa-like region...

  6. Heavy neutral bosons and dark matter in the 3-3-1 model with axionlike particle

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    In the 331ALP model the second Higgs is predicted above 600 GeV and the Z' above 5.1 TeV, with dark matter mass related to the axion breaking scale under a residual Z2 symmetry.
