The MEG experiment, designed to search for the mu+->e+ gamma decay at a 10^-13 sensitivity level, completed data taking in 2013. In order to increase the sensitivity reach of the experiment by an order of magnitude to the level of 6 x 10-14 for the branching ratio, a total upgrade, involving substantial changes to the experiment, has been undertaken, known as MEG II. We present both the motivation for the upgrade and a detailed overview of the design of the experiment and of the expected detector performance.

  1. Leptogenesis and neutrino mass with one right-handed neutrino and Higgs inflaton

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Minimal setup with one RHN and Higgs inflaton generates neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry via Affleck-Dine leptogenesis, and matches PLANCK/ACT inflation data with a small parameter space.

  2. 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}.

  3. Type II Seesaw Leptogenesis in a Majoron background

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spontaneous wash-in leptogenesis in Type II Seesaw with Majoron pNGB background enables baryon asymmetry generation alongside dark matter cogenesis for specific v_T, v_sigma and m_j ranges.

  4. Reach and complementarity of $\mu\to e$ searches

    hep-ph 2022-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives new physics scale constraints in a six-dimensional EFT subspace for μ to e transitions using data from μ→eγ, μ→3e, and nuclear conversion experiments while highlighting their complementarity.

  5. Emergent Neutrino Texture Geometry from Dark Matter and Lepton Flavor Violation in the Scotogenic Model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical scans in the minimal scotogenic model indicate that approximate neutrino texture structures emerge dynamically from dark matter and lepton flavor violation consistency conditions.

  6. Muon beams towards muonium physics: progress and prospects

    hep-ex 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 1.0

    A review summarizing recent progress in high-intensity polarized muon beams for precision muonium physics, new physics searches, and materials science applications.
