Abstract
Together with any beyond the Standard Model ultraviolet complete, renormalizable model, one or several exotic particles are usually hypothesized. CP-even neutral and doubly charged scalars are common, well-known examples which can contribute to the seven 3-body charged lepton flavor violating decays. The experimental bounds on each branching ratio within this set of processes provide a good test for new physics that can induce powerful constraints on relevant parameter spaces. This is specially true for a third species of particle which, unlike the previous two, is a rare feature of renormalizable models; a doubly charged vector bilepton. We show how these purely leptonic bounds can indeed induce relevant exclusion regions for the corresponding particles masses, stronger than what have been considered in the literature for the alternative flavor-conserving case, and examine how interference effects can influence these regions in a nontrivial way.
