A search for lepton flavor violating decays, kmmp, keep, kpem, kmep and pizem, was performed using the data collected in E865 at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. No signal was found in any of the decay modes. At the 90% confidence level, the branching ratios are less than $3.0times10^{-9}$, $6.4times10^{-10}$, $5.2times10^{-10}$, $5.0times10^{-10}$ and $3.4times10^{-9}$ respectively.

We present measurements of the branching fractions for the decays $Bto K mu^{+}mu^{-}$ and $Bto K e^{+}e^{-}$, and their ratio ($R_{K}$), using a data sample of 711 $fb^{-1}$ that contains $772 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ events. The data were collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The ratio $R_{K}$ is measured in five bins of dilepton invariant-mass-squared ($q^{2}$): $q^{2} in (0.1, 4.0), (4.0, 8.12), (1.0, 6.0)$, $(10.2, 12.8)$ and ($>14.18) GeV^{2}/c^{4}$, along with the whole $q^2$ region. The $R_{K}$ value for $q^{2} in (1.0, 6.0) GeV^{2}/c^{4}$ is $1.03^{+0.28}_{-0.24} pm 0.01$. The first and second uncertainties listed are statistical and systematic, respectively. All results for $R_{K}$ are consistent with Standard Model predictions. We also measure $C!P$-averaged isospin asymmetries in the same $q^{2}$ bins. The results are consistent with a null asymmetry, with the largest difference of 2.6 standard deviations occurring for the $q^{2}in(1.0,6.0) GeV^{2}/c^{4}$ bin in the mode with muon final states. The measured differential branching fractions, ${dcal B}/{dq^{2}}$, are consistent with theoretical predictions for charged $B$ decays, while the corresponding values are below the expectations for neutral $B$ decays. We have also searched for lepton-flavor-violating $B rightarrow Kmu^{pm}e^{mp}$ decays and set $90%$ confidence-level upper limits on the branching fraction in the range of $10^{-8}$ for $B^{+} rightarrow K^{+}mu^{pm}e^{mp}$, and $B^{0} rightarrow K^{0}mu^{pm}e^{mp}$ modes.
This paper is devoted to the first analyses based on the complete data sample collected by the KLOE detector at DAPHNE, the Frascati phi-factory. The result for the BR(K_S -> gammagamma) and the search for the decay K_S->e+e- are presented. Particular emphasis is put on the measurement of the ratio of Ke2 and Kmu2 BRs.
A measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of the decays $B^+to K^+mu^+mu^-$ and $B^+to K^+e^+e^-$ is presented. The proton-proton collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of $5.0,$fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and $13,$TeV. For the dilepton mass-squared range $1.1 < q^2 < 6.0,$GeV$^2!/c^4$ the ratio of branching fractions is measured to be $R_K = {0.846,^{+,0.060}_{-,0.054},^{+,0.016}_{-,0.014}}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the most precise measurement of $R_K$ to date and is compatible with the Standard Model at the level of 2.5 standard deviations.
Results of a search for the three neutral charm decays, D0 -> mu e, D0 -> mu mu, and D0 -> e e, are presented. This study was based on data collected in Experiment 789 at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory using 800 GeV/c proton-Au and proton-Be interactions. No evidence is found for any of the decays. Upper limits on the branching ratios, at the 90% confidence level, are obtained.
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.
