Lepton Flavor Violation at LHC

Abstract

Lepton flavor violation (LFV) within the realm of the Standard Model is forbidden. However recent neutrino experiments strongly suggest neutrino oscillations, giving way to LFV. Beyond SM theories, such as supersymmetry and supergravity also allow LFV. This note reviews the possibility of observing LFV signal in the two general purpose LHC experiments: ATLAS and CMS. It is shown that using the initial LHC luminosity, in about a year, either a discovery can be made or the current LFV limits can be enhanced by an order of magnitude.Comment: for 40th moriond EW conf. proceedings, 7 pages, 3 figure
