contents Kinematics restrict the ability of rare charm decays to explore the charged Lepton Flavor Violation processes mediated by the quark-level $c\to u \ell τ$ transition. To fill the gap, we propose exploring new physics (NP) through the quasielastic scattering process $e^-p\to τ^-Λ_c$ and the polarization of the $τ$ lepton. As analyzing modes for the $τ$ polarization, we consider the decays $τ^-\to π^-ν_τ$, $τ^-\to ρ^-ν_τ$, and $τ^- \to \ell^-\barν_{\ell}ν_τ$, and show that the $τ$ polarization components can be extracted from analyzing the kinematics of the $τ$ visible decay products. In the framework of a general low-energy effective Lagrangian, we then perform a detailed analysis of the polarization components in various aspects and scrutinize possible NP signals. With one upcoming experimental setup, we finally demonstrate promising event rate can be expected for the cascade process and, even in the worst-case scenario -- no signals is observed at all -- it can still provide a competitive potential for constraining the NP, compared with those from the high-$p_T$ dilepton invariant mass tails at high-energy colliders.
