Abstract
In the Standard Model, charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is heavily suppressed by tiny neutrino mass, while many theoretical models can enhance CLFV effects up to a detectable level. The observation of any CLFV process would be a clear signal of new physics beyond SM. BESIII experiment collected 10 billion $J/\psi$ data and searched for CLFV processes $J/\psi\to e\tau$ and $e\mu$. The upper limits at the 90\% confidence level are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\tau)<7.5× 10^{-8}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\mu)<4.5× 10^{-9}$, respectively, which are the most stringent constraints in the heavy quarkonium system.
