abstract
A search for the lepton-flavor violating decay of the Higgs boson and potential additional Higgs bosons with a mass in the range 110-160 GeV to an e$^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ pair is presented. The search is performed with a proton-proton collision dataset at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. No excess is observed for the Higgs boson. The observed (expected) upper limit on the e$^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ branching fraction for it is determined to be 4.4 (4.7) $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ at 95% confidence level, the most stringent limit set thus far from direct searches. The largest excess of events over the expected background in the full mass range of the search is observed at an e$^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ invariant mass of approximately 146 GeV with a local (global) significance of 3.8 (2.8) standard deviations.

LFV decays in a 3-3-1 model with singlet leptoquarks
In the 3-3-1 model with a singlet leptoquark, Higgs and Z lepton-flavor-violating decays are nearly proportional to radiative charged-lepton decays, and the model cannot produce large electron and muon magnetic anomal...

Left-Handed Physics is not right for EDMs
In lepton-flavour-violating new physics models where heavy states do not couple to right-handed charged leptons, one-loop electric dipole moments vanish in both the mass and Yukawa bases, leaving two-loop effects as t...

Improved Bounds and Global Fit of Flavor-Violating Charged Lepton Yukawa Couplings post LHC
Updated constraints show LHC direct searches now dominate the tau-mu and tau-e flavor-violating Higgs couplings, with new-physics scales around 10 to 100 TeV.
