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 $J/\psi\to e\tau$, $J/\psi\to e\mu$, and $\psi(3686)\to e\mu$ are investigated using world-leading $J/\psi$ and $\psi(3686)$ dataset collected by BESIII. No significant signals are observed, and upper limits on branching fractions are set at $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\tau)<7.5\times10^{-8}$, $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\mu)<4.5\times10^{-9}$, and $\mathcal{B}(\psi(3686)\to e\mu)<1.4\times10^{-8}$ at 90\% confidence level. These results provide constraints on Wilson coefficients in effective field theory and probe new physics at high energy scales.
