Guoliang TONGTau04,Nara,Septemper 16, Introduction -In the SM of electroweak theory, the lepton flavor symmetries are conserved -In many extensions of the SM, such as SUSY,GUT, left-right symmetric models,lepton flavor symmetries speculated to be violated -Some theorists predicted LFV decay branching-ratio of vector bosons( ,J/ , , Z 0 ) in recent years -Super-Kamiokande and Kamland, SNO experimental results indicate strongly m  0, and mix with each others

Guoliang TONGTau04,Nara,Septemper 16,20044 Experimental status - Experimentally, no evidence for direct LFV has been reported so far. -Many research for LFV have been done in μ and τ decays. - Direct searches at the Z peak performed by the LEP experiments yielded 95% C.L. upper limits BR(Z  e μ, e τ,μ τ) <1.7x10 -6, 9.8x10 -6 and 1.2x10 -5 respectively. - J/Ψ  e μ’s search was reported by BES with 58M J/  sample and U.L. BR(J/Ψ  e μ )<1.1x10 -6 reached 90%C.L.)(PLB 561(2003)49-54)
