A search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay $J/psito e^{pm}tau^{mp}$ with $tau^{mp} to pi^{mp}pi^0 u_{tau}$ is performed with about $10$ billion $J/ psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII. No significant signal is observed, and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psito e^{pm}tau^{mp})<7.5times10^{-8}$ at the 90$%$ confidence level. This improves the previously published limit by two orders of magnitude.
The lepton flavor violating process $J/psito ll (l eq l)$ serves as an ideal place to probe the unparticle theory. Such process can only occur at loop level in the Standard model (SM), so that should be very suppressed, by contrast in unparticle scenario, it happens at tree level and its contribution may be sizable for practical measurement. Moreover, the BESIII will offer the largest database on $J/psi$ which makes more accurate measurements possible. Furthermore, for such purely leptonic decays background is relatively low and signal would be cleaner. Our work carefully investigates the possibility of observing such processes from both theoretical and experimental aspects.
Charged lepton flavor violation is forbidden in the Standard Model but possible in several new physics scenarios. In many of these models, the radiative decays $tau^{pm}rightarrowell^{pm}gamma$ ($ell=e,mu$) are predicted to have a sizeable probability, making them particularly interesting channels to search at various experiments. An updated search via $tau^{pm}rightarrowell^{pm}gamma$ using full data of the Belle experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 988 fb$^{-1}$, is reported for charged lepton flavor violation. No significant excess over background predictions from the Standard Model is observed, and the upper limits on the branching fractions, $mathcal{B}(tau^{pm}rightarrow mu^{pm}gamma)$ $leq$ $4.2times10^{-8}$ and $mathcal{B}(tau^{pm}rightarrow e^{pm}gamma)$ $leq$ $5.6times10^{-8}$, are set at 90% confidence level.
We search for lepton-flavor-violating tau decays into three leptons (electron or muon) using 535 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. No evidence for these decays is observed, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions of (2.0-4.1)x10^-8. These results improve upon our previously published upper limits by factors of 4.9 to 10.
We have searched for the lepton-flavor-violating decay $B^{0}to K^{ast 0} mu^{pm} e^{mp}$ using a data sample of 711 $fb^{-1}$ that contains $772 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs. The data were collected near the $Upsilon (4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. No signals were observed, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions of ${cal B}(B^{0}to K^{ast 0} mu^{+} e^{-})< 1.2times 10^{-7}$, ${cal B}(B^{0}to K^{ast 0} mu^{-} e^{+})< 1.6times 10^{-7}$, and, for both decays combined, ${cal B}(B^{0}to K^{ast 0} mu^{pm} e^{mp}) < 1.8times 10^{-7}$. These are the most stringent limits on these decays to date.
Using $10.1times10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events produced by the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) at a center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=3.097~rm{GeV}$ and collected with the BESIII detector, we present a search for the rare semi-leptonic decay $J/psito D^{-}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.$. No excess of signal above background is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psito D^{-}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.)<7.1times10^{-8}$ is obtained at $90%$ confidence level. This is an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude over the previous best limit.
