Flavor violating processes in the lepton sector have highly suppressed branching ratios in the standard model mainly due to the tiny neutrino mass. This means that observing lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the next round of experiments would constitute a clear indication of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). We revisit a discussion of one possible way to search for LFV, muonium-antimuonium oscillations. This process violates muon lepton number by two units and could be sensitive to the types of BSM physics that are not probed by other types of LFV processes. Using techniques of effective field theory, we calculate the mass and width differences of the mass eigenstates of muonium. We argue that its invisible decays give the parametrically leading contribution to the lifetime difference and put constraints on the scales of new physics probed by effective operators in muonium oscillations.

  1. Flavor-violating dark matter at MEG-II and Mu3e

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rare muon decays into a positron and two dark matter particles could let MEG-II and Mu3e probe lepton-flavor-violating dark matter interactions at TeV scales, with a radiative decay extending the reach to sub-MeV dark matter.

  2. Probing a 146 GeV cLFV scalar using the LHC and low-energy experiments

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 146 GeV scalar explaining the CMS eμ excess prefers Y_eμ ~ 10^{-4.09} and is directly testable by Mu2e, COMET, Mu3e and related cLFV experiments.

  3. Leptonic Flavor from Modular $A_4$: UV Mediators and SMEFT Realizations

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    This paper classifies lepton-coupled UV mediators under modular A4 symmetry and derives experimental lower bounds on their masses from lepton flavor observables.

  4. Probing flavor-diagonal couplings of doubly-charged scalar at low and high energies

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Flavor-diagonal couplings of a TeV-scale right-handed doubly-charged scalar in the LRSM could be probed down to ~10^-2 by combining low-energy precision measurements with future lepton colliders.

  5. Structure of leptonic Yukawa couplings in the Zee model

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper derives explicit element-wise relations in the Zee model, showing five entries of the Yukawa matrix Yℓ are fixed by F and mν, while four remain free, and applies this to texture B2 with muon g-2.
