The importance of rare muon processes with lepton flavor violation is highly stressed, together with precision measurements of normal muon decay. Recent up-to-date motivations of lepton flavor violation based on supersymmetric models, in particular supersymmetric grand unified theories, are described along with other theoretical models. Future prospects of experiments and muon sources of high intensity for further progress in this field are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-09-06T16:38:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard model", "lepton flavor violation", "normal muon decay", "rare muon processes", "supersymmetric grand unified theories" ], "tags": [ "journal article", "review article", "famous paper" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Rev.
