Description

We present a comprehensive analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) in the channel $ep\to \tau X$, within the model-independent framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We compute the relevant cross sections to leading order and

perform simulations of signal and SM background events in various $\tau$ decay channels, suggesting simple cuts to enhance the associated estimated efficiencies.

To assess the discovery potential of the EIC in $\tau$-$e$ transitions, we

study the sensitivity of other probes of this physics across a broad range of energy scales, from $pp\to e\tau X$ at the Large Hadron Collider to decays of $B$ mesons and $\tau$ leptons.
