Abstract

In this work we assess the potential of discovering new physics by searching for lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) decays of the Z boson, Z� �i�j, at the proposed circular e+e- colliders CEPC and FCC-ee. Both projects plan to run at the Z-pole as a �Tera Z factory�, i.e., collecting O(10 12) Z decays. In order to discuss the discovery potential in a model-independent way, we revisit the LFV Z decays in the context of the Standard Model effective field theory and study the indirect constraints from LFV μ and � decays on the operators that can induce Z� �i�j. We find that, while the Z� μe rates are beyond the expected sensitivities, a Tera Z factory is promising for Z� �� decays, probing New Physics at the same level of future low-energy LFV observables. © 2021, The Author(s).
