Description

The charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) is highly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM) by the finite but tiny neutrino masses. Its branching fraction is calculated to be at a negligible level and so far none has been found in all the historical experiments, including searches in lepton ($\mu$,$\tau$) decays, pseudoscalar meson (K,$\pi$) decays, vector meson ($\phi$,$J/\psi$,$\Upsilon$) decays, Higgs decays etc. This talk reviews the charged Lepton Flavor Violation process searches at BESIII experiement. We present the results of searches for the decay of $J/\psi\to e\mu$, using $(225.3\pm2.8)\times10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. An upper limit on the branching fraction of $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\mu)<1.6\times10^{-7}$ (90\% C.L.) is obtained. The prospects and challenges with other channels and the future data are also discussed based on projections from MC simulation.
