Search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation at BESIII

Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is forbidden in the Standard Model but predicted by many new physics models. We present searches for CLFV in charmonium decays using world-leading datasets collected by the BESIII detector. The processes $J/ψ\to eτ$, $J/ψ\to eμ$, and $ψ(3686)\to eμ$ are investigated using world-leading $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ dataset collected by BESIII. No significant signals are observed, and upper limits on branching fractions are set at $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to eτ)<7.5\times10^{-8}$, $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to eμ)<4.5\times10^{-9}$, and $\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686)\to eμ)<1.4\times10^{-8}$ at 90\% confidence level. These results provide constraints on Wilson coefficients in effective field theory and probe new physics at high energy scales.
