| contents | We will witness enormous progress in the experimental sensitivity to charged-lepton-violation processes in the near future. New physics signals of charged lepton violation might be around the corner without conflicting with existing astrophysical and accelerator bounds. In this work, we explore the possibility of having a dark matter particle as a source for $μ\to e γ$, $μ\to 3e$, and $μ\to e$ conversion in nuclei. After computing the dark matter relic density and dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section, we outline the region of parameter space where one can simultaneously accommodate a dark matter fermion in agreement with existing collider and direct detection bounds, and positive signals in charged lepton violation observables. |
