We perform a detailed analysis of lepton flavour violation (LFV) within minimal see-saw type extensions of the Standard Model (SM), which give a viable mechanism of neutrino mass generation and provide new particle content at the electroweak scale. We focus, mainly, on predictions and constraints set on each scenario from mu --> e gamma, mu --> 3e and mu - e conversion in the nuclei. In this class of models, the flavour structure of the Yukawa couplings between the additional scalar and fermion representations and the SM leptons is highly constrained by neutrino oscillation measurements. In particular, we show that in some regions of the parameters space of type I and type II see-saw models, the Dirac and Majorana phases of the neutrino mixing matrix, the ordering and hierarchy of the active neutrino mass spectrum as well as the value of the reactor mixing angle theta_{13} may considerably affect the size of the LFV observables. The interplay of the latter clearly allows to discriminate among the different low energy see-saw possibilities.

  1. Probing compressed triplet scalars with ISR jets and soft leptons at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A cut-and-count analysis exploiting ISR jets and soft leptons can reach discovery sensitivity for compressed triplet scalars with 1-30 GeV splittings at 3000 fb^{-1}.

  2. Dark Matter as a Source for Lepton Flavor Violation

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A dark matter fermion is shown to simultaneously explain the relic density, satisfy direct detection and collider bounds, and produce observable rates for muon-to-electron transitions in a viable parameter region.
