Abstract

Supposing only Lorentz and the gauge invariances of the Lagrangian, we derive energy and angular distributions for $τ^{\pm} \to μ^{\pm} μ^{\pm} μ^{\mp}$ lepton flavor violating decay process. Using these results, we discuss methods to determine the parameters associated with the lepton flavor violating interactions.
