A search for the lepton flavour violating decay $tau^-to mu^-mu^+mu^-$ is performed with the LHCb experiment. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.0mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $2.0mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ at $8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. No evidence is found for a signal, and a limit is set at $90%$ confidence level on the branching fraction, $mathcal{B}(tau^-to mu^-mu^+mu^-) < 4.6 times 10^{-8}$.

Lepton-flavour violating tau-decays are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model at a rate observable at future collider experiments. In this article we focus on the decay tau to mu mu antimu, which is a promising channel to observe lepton- flavour violation at the Large Hadron Collider LHC. We present analytic expressions for the differential decay width derived from a model-independent effective Lagrangian with general four-fermion operators, and estimate the experimental acceptance for detecting the decay tau to mu mu antimu at the LHC. Specific emphasis is given to decay angular distributions and how they can be used to discriminate new physics models. We provide specific predictions for various extensions of the Standard Model, including supersymmetric, little Higgs and technicolour models.
A sensitive search for the lepton-number-violating decay $Xi^-to p mu^-mu^-$ has been performed using a sample of $sim10^9$ $Xi^-$ hyperons produced in 800 GeV/$c$ $p$-Cu collisions. We obtain $mathcal{B}(Xi^-to p mu^-mu^-)< 4.0times 10^{-8}$ at 90% confidence, improving on the best previous limit by four orders of magnitude.
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.
We present a new result based on an analysis of the data collected by the MEG detector at the Paul Scherrer Institut in 2009 and 2010, in search of the lepton flavour violating decay mu->e gamma. The likelihood analysis of the combined data sample, w hich corresponds to a total of 1.8 x 10**14 muon decays, gives a 90% C.L. upper limit of 2.4 x 10**-12 on the branching ratio of the mu->e gamma decay, constituting the most stringent limit on the existence of this decay to date.
