Search for the Lepton Flavour Violating Decay μ⁺ to e^+ γ with the Full Dataset of the MEG Experiment
read the original abstract
The final results of the search for the lepton flavour violating decay $\mu^{+} \rightarrow {\rm e^{+}} \gamma$ based on the full dataset collected by the MEG experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut in the period 2009--2013 and totalling $7.5\times 10^{14}$ stopped muons on target are presented. No significant excess of events is observed in the dataset with respect to the expected background and a new upper limit on the branching ratio of this decay of $BR( \mu^{+} \rightarrow {\rm e^{+}} \gamma ) < 4.2 \times 10^{-13}$ (90\%\ confidence level) is established, which represents the most stringent limit on the existence of this decay to date.

When Does Leptogenesis Survive Lepton Flavor Violation Constraints? High- and Low-Scale Realizations in the Scotogenic Model
High-scale leptogenesis in the scotogenic model decouples from LFV bounds and remains viable, while low-scale resonant leptogenesis is viable only in a narrow parameter region with suppressed flavor violation.

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

Resonant Leptogenesis in a Two-Triplet Type-II Seesaw: A Dynamical Origin of Suppressed Lepton Flavor Violation
In a two-triplet Type-II seesaw, resonant leptogenesis at the TeV scale dynamically requires small Yukawa couplings that suppress observable lepton flavor violation as a direct consequence of successful baryogenesis.
