Description
We consider the process $mu o
u_{e}ear{
u}_{mu} $in the
framework of a two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral
currents (FCNC). Since FCNC generates in turn flavor changing charged
currents in the lepton sector, this process appears at tree level
mediated by a charged Higgs boson exchange. From the experimental upper
limit for this decay, we obtain the bound $| xi_{mu e}/m_{H^{pm}}|
leq 3.8 imes 10^{-3}$ where$ xi_{mu e} $refers to the mixing between
the first and second lepton generations, and $m_{H^{pm}} $denotes the
mass of the charged Higgs boson. This bound is independent on the other
free parameters of the model. In particular, for $m_{H^{pm}}simeq
100$GeV we get $| xi_{emu}| $ $lesssim 0.38$
