B03.00001: LNV/LFV at colliders Invited Speaker: Swagato Banerjee Observation of lepton number violation (LNV) or lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the charged lepton sector would completely change our understanding of Nature and herald a new era of discoveries in elementary particle physics. The B-factory and LHC experiments are expected to discover LNV/LFV as an answer to the fundamental questions relating to the unsolved mysteries of particle physics. Now is a very interesting era in the searches for LNV/LFV in decays of the tau lepton, as the current limits will improve by more than an order of magnitude in the next decade at the next generation B-Factories. The upgraded LHC experiments are unique test beds for searches of LFV in decays of the Higgs boson and/or Z(') boson. I review the current status and future prospects of these searches in this talk. |

B03.00002: Testing charged lepton flavor violation and universality with pions, muons, and kaons Invited Speaker: Douglas Bryman Since the discovery of the muon, the lack of understanding of flavor is one of the most intriguing and persistent problems in particle physics. Many hypotheses which extend the Standard Model suggest charged lepton flavor violation and non-universal interactions could occur and be due to effects at higher mass scales, possibly approaching 1000 TeV. Exceptionally sensitive and precise experiments have been performed and new ones are planned seeking such effects which might provide clues to understanding why there are exactly three replicas of each type of fundamental particle. Some hints of non-SM effects have been reported in third generation studies. A review of experiments searching for charged lepton flavor violation and probing the validity of lepton universality in decays and interactions of first and second generation particles, pions, muons, and kaons, will be presented. |

B03.00003: Introduction Invited Speaker: Jure Zupan We give a short overview of theory motivations behind Lepton Number Violation and Charged Lepton Flavor Violation searches. |

B03.00004: Searches for new physics in b-hadron decays Invited Speaker: Marina Artuso New physics beyond the Standard Model may manifest itself in many different ways in b-hadron decays. I will review the current status of observed anomalies, with particular emphasis on tests of lepton universality in b-hadron decays. |
