We report the results of a search for the decay $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$ in the kinematic region with $pi^+$ momentum $140 < P < 195$ MeV/c using the data collected by the E787 experiment at BNL. No events were observed. When combined with our previous search in this region, one candidate event with an expected background of $1.22 pm 0.24$ events results in a 90% C.L. upper limit of $2.2 times 10^{-9}$ on the branching ratio of $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$. We also report improved limits on the rates of $K^+ to pi^+ X^0$ and $K^+ to pi^+ X^1 X^2$ where $X^0, X^1, X^2$ are hypothetical, massless, long-lived neutral particles.

We have searched for the decay $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$ in the kinematic region with pion momentum below the $K^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ peak. One event was observed, consistent with the background estimate of $0.73pm 0.18$. This implies an upper limit on $B(K^ + to pi^+ u bar u)< 4.2times 10^{-9}$ (90% C.L.), consistent with the recently measured branching ratio of $(1.57^{+1.75}_{-0.82}) times 10^{-10}$, obtained using the standard model spectrum and the kinematic region above the $K^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ peak. The same data were used to search for $K^+ to pi^+ X^0$, where $X^0$ is a weakly interacting neutral particle or system of particles with $150 < M_{X^0} < 250 {rm ~MeV/c^2}$.
An upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay $K^+ ! rightarrow ! pi^+ u overline{ u}$ is set at $2.4 times 10^{-9}$ at the 90% C.L. using pions in the kinematic region $214~{rm MeV}/c < P_pi < 231~{rm MeV}/c$. An upper limit of $5.2 times 10^ {-10}$ is found on the branching ratio for decays $K^+ ! rightarrow ! pi^+ X^0$, where $X^0$ is any massless, weakly interacting neutral particle. Limits are also set for cases where $M_{X^0}>0$.
We present the results of searches for nucleon decay via bound neutron to antineutrino plus pizero and proton to antineutrino plus piplus using data from a combined 172.8 kiloton-years exposure of Super-Kamiokande-I, -II, and -III. We set lower limit s on the partial lifetime for each of these modes. For antineutrino pizero, the partial lifetime is >1.1x10^{33} years; for antineutrino piplus, the partial lifetime is >3.9x10^{32} years at 90% confidence level.
The current status of the experimental study of the rare kaon decay K^+ to pi^+ u bar u at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) by the E787 and E949 collaborations is reported.
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ using data from the BABAR experiment. A total of 424 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy of the $Upsi lon$(4S) resonance is used in this study, corresponding to a sample of ${(471 pm 3) times 10^{6}}$ $Boverline{B}$ pairs. Signal $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ candidates are identified by first fully reconstructing a $B^+$ decay in one of many possible exclusive decays to hadronic final states, then examining detector activity that is not associated with this reconstructed $B^+$ decay for evidence of a signal $B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}$ decay. The data yield is found to be consistent with the expected background contribution under a null signal hypothesis, resulting in an upper limit of ${{cal B} (B^- to Lambda {overline p} u{overline{ u}}) < 3.0times 10^{-5}}$ at the $90%$ confidence level.
