Abstract
string models for which (i) breaks to [SU(3) at the Planck scale, (ii) [SU(3) breaks to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) at an intermediate scale triggered by a (mass <0 where ≲1 TeV, and (iii) the model possesses a matter-parity invariance lead to the new-physics signals of μ→eγ and τ→μγ decays which may be accessible experimentally. The outgoing lepton is nearly 100% right handed and the τ→μγ branching ratio about times larger than the μ→eγ. Possible ways of detecting these decays are discussed.
