Search for lepton-number- and baryon-number-violating tau decays at Belle


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We search for lepton-number- and baryon-number-violating decays $tau^{-}tooverline{p}e^{+}e^{-}$, $pe^{-}e^{-}$, $overline{p}e^{+}mu^{-}$, $overline{p}e^{-}mu^{+}$, $overline{p}mu^{+}mu^{-}$, and $pmu^{-}mu^{-}$ using 921 fb$^{-1}$ of data, equivalent to $(841pm12)times 10^6$ $tau^{+}tau^{-}$ events, recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. In the absence of a signal, $90%$ confidence-level upper limits are set on the branching fractions of these decays in the range $(1.8$-$4.0)times 10^{-8}$. We set the worlds first limits on the first four channels and improve the existing limits by an order of magnitude for the last two channels.
