Title: Searches for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation at CMS and Mu2e
Abstract: Neutrino oscillations have shown that lepton flavor is not a conserved quantity. Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is suppressed by the small neutrino masses well below what is experimentally observable, though new physics models predict higher rates of CLFV. I will discuss a current search at the CMS experiment for the CLFV decay of the Z boson, focusing on the search for Z→e µ. I will also discuss the upcoming search for CLFV µ− → e− conversion at the Mu2e experiment at FNAL. The Mu2e experiment aims to improve the sensitivity to µ− → e− conversion by a factor of 10,000. I will present the expected µ− → e− conversion sensitivity during Run 1 at Mu2e.
