Abstract
Experiments looking for a lepton-flavor-violating decay are reviewed in light of present-day germanium detector technology, with an eye on scenarios where a long-lived, slow-moving massive boson might have a cosmological impact. A broad swath of interesting, unexplored parameter space very close to the kinematic limit of the decay is found to be within the reach of a new proposed search. A number of possible roles for in past and present epochs can be investigated.
