We report the result for a search for the leptonic decay of $B^+ to mu^+ , u_{mu}$ using the full Belle data set of 711 fb${}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. In the Standard Model leptonic $B$-meson decays are helicity and CKM suppressed. To maximize sensitivity an inclusive tagging approach is used to reconstruct the second $B$ meson produced in the collision. The directional information from this second $B$ meson is used to boost the observed $mu$ into the signal $B$ meson rest-frame, in which the $mu$ has a monochromatic momentum spectrum. Though its momentum is smeared by the experimental resolution, this technique improves the analysis sensitivity considerably. Analyzing the $mu$ momentum spectrum in this frame we find $mathcal{B}(B^+ to mu^+ , u_mu) = left( 5.3 pm 2.0 pm 0.9 right) times 10^{-7}$ with a one-sided significance of 2.8 standard deviations over the background-only hypothesis. This translates to a frequentist upper limit of $mathcal{B}(B^+ to mu^+ , u_{mu}) < 8.6 times 10^{-7}$ at 90% CL. The experimental spectrum is then used to search for a massive sterile neutrino, $B^+ to mu^+ , N$, but no evidence is observed for a sterile neutrino with a mass in a range of 0 - 1.5 GeV. The determined $B^+ to mu^+ , u_{mu}$ branching fraction limit is further used to constrain the mass and coupling space of the type II and type III two-Higgs-doublet models.

We present a search for the rare leptonic decays $B^+ to e^+ u_e$ and $B^+ to mu^+ u_mu$, using the full $Upsilon(4S)$ data sample of $772times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the $rm {small KEKB}$ asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. One of the $B$ mesons from the $Upsilon(4S) to Bbar{B}$ decay is fully reconstructed in a hadronic mode, while the recoiling side is analyzed for the signal decay. We find no evidence of a signal in any of the decay modes. Upper limits of the corresponding branching fractions are determined as ${cal B}(B^+ to e^+ u_e)<3.5times 10^{-6}$ and ${cal B}(B^+ to mu^+ u_mu)<2.7 times 10^{-6}$ at 90$%$ confidence level.

A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay $B^{+}to h^- mu^+ mu^+$, where $h^-$ represents a $K^-$ or a $pi^-$, using data from the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36pb^{-1}$. The decay is forbidden in the Standard Model but allowed in models with a Majorana neutrino. No signal is observed in either channel and limits of $B(B^{+} to K^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.4times 10^{-8}$ and $B(B^{+} to pi^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.8times 10^{-8}$ are set at the 95% confidence level. These improve the previous best limits by factors of 40 and 30, respectively.
A search for the rare decays $B^0_s tomu^+mu^-$ and $B^0 tomu^+mu^-$ is performed at the LHCb experiment. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 2 fb$^{-1}$ at 8 TeV. An excess of $B^0_s tomu^+mu^-$ signal candidates with respect to the background expectation is seen with a significance of 4.0 standard deviations. A time-integrated branching fraction of ${cal B}(B^0_s tomu^+mu^-) = (2.9^{+1.1}_{-1.0})times 10^{-9}$ is obtained and an upper limit of ${cal B}(B^0 tomu^+mu^-) < 7.4times 10^{-10}$ at 95% confidence level is set. These results are consistent with the Standard Model expectations.
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos produced in the $B^- to pi^+mu^-mu^-$ decay mode is performed using 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in $pp$ collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV at the LHC. Neutrinos with masses in the range 250-5000 MeV and lifetimes from zero to 1000 ps are probed. In the absence of a signal, upper limits are set on the branching fraction ${cal{B}}(B^- to pi^+mu^-mu^-)$ as functions of neutrino mass and lifetime. These limits are on the order of $10^{-9}$ for short neutrino lifetimes of 1 ps or less. Limits are also set on the coupling between the muon and a possible fourth-generation neutrino.
