Search for high mass lepton flavour violating processes with CMS — •Sebastian Wiedenbeck, Thomas Hebbeker, Arnd Meyer, and Swagata Mukherjee — III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen University

Lepton flavour is a conserved quantity in the standard model of particle physics, but it does not follow from an underlying symmetry. Neutrino oscillations imply that lepton flavour is not conserved in the neutral sector. Lepton flavour violating processes are common in several models of physics beyond the standard model (e.g. supersymmetry with R-parity violation, black hole production, and leptoquarks). Some models predict objects at the TeV mass scale that can decay into two standard model leptons of different flavours: electron + muon, muon + tau, or electron + tau. The challenges in a search for such phenomena are to achieve a high mass resolution, good rejection of standard model backgrounds, and efficient lepton identification at the same time. The status of the analysis is presented, based on the latest CMS data taken in Run 2.
