Abstract

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)
