2006/2/27-3/2 International workshop e+e- collisions from phi to psi at BINP2 Lepton flavor violating decays have a very small probability in the Standard Model (even with neutrino oscillation). New physics effects (SUSY, Extra-D, etc.) may allow us to observe LFV with the present experimental sensitivity. Previous results from CLEO were sensitive to Br~O(10 -6 ). The B factories (Belle and BaBar) have sensitivities of O(10 -7 ~10 -8 ). Introduction

2006/2/27-3/2 International workshop e+e- collisions from phi to psi at BINP17 For Future B-factories are accumulating data stably. Currently, >7.5x10 8 -pairs in two B-factories. However, improvement of LFV sensitivity will be slow. Non-negligible backgrounds Need better / separation Low energy -factory may have an advantage. Effects of ISR and qq may be reduced. //

2006/2/27-3/2 International workshop e+e- collisions from phi to psi at BINP20 Summary A data sample of >7.5x10 8 -pairs has been successfully obtained by the B-factories. LFV sensitivities are Br~1x10 -7. Exploring possible parameter space of New Physics For some modes, it will be hard to improve the sensitivity due to backgrounds. Better muon identification Tau-factory at around energy threshold may be better to reduce ISR effects. ? Super B-factory will produce 10 10 -pairs at 10ab -1. LFV sensitivity will reach Br~O(10 -9 ).
