A search for massive neutrinos has been made in the decay $pirightarrow e^+ u$. No evidence was found for extra peaks in the positron energy spectrum indicative of pion decays involving massive neutrinos ($pirightarrow e^+ u_h$). Upper limits (90 % C.L.) on the neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{ei}|^2$ in the neutrino mass region 60--135 MeV/$c^2$ were set, which are %representing an order of magnitude improvement over previous results.

Two results from the PIENU Experiment are presented reporting a test of lepton universality in pion decay and improved limits on heavy neutrinos coupling to positrons. The status of the full analysis for the $pi^+ rightarrow mbox{e}^+ u$ branching ratio measurement is summarized.
Heavy neutrinos were sought in pion decays $pi^+ rightarrow mu^+ u$ by examining the observed muon energy spectrum for extra peaks in addition to the expected peak for a massless neutrino. No evidence for heavy neutrinos was observed. Upper limits w ere set on the neutrino mixing matrix $|U_{mu i}|^2$ in the neutrino mass region of 15.7--33.8 MeV/c$^2$, improving on previous results by an order of magnitude.
We present the first search for the decay $D^+_{s}to omega e^{+} u$ to test the four-quark content of the $D^+_{s}$ and the $omega$-$phi$ mixing model for this decay. We use 586 $mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data collected at a center-o f-mass energy of 4170 MeV. We find no evidence of a signal, and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of $mathcal{B}(D^+_{s}toomega e^+ u)<$0.20% at the 90% confidence level.
Using an electron-positron collision data sample of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we present the first search for the radiative leptonic decay $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e }$. The analysis is performed with a double tag method. We do not observe a significant $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e}$ signal, and obtain an upper limit on the branching fraction of $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e}$ decay with the energy of radiative photon larger than 10 MeV of $3.0times10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level.
We present results of a direct search for the decay K_S->e+e- with the KLOE detector, obtained with a sample of e+e- -> phi -> K_S K_L events produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, for an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb-1. The Standard Model pr ediction for this decay is BR(K_S->e+e-) = 2 x 10^-14. The search has been performed by tagging the K_S decays with simultaneous detection of a K_L interaction in the calorimeter. Background rejection has been optimized by using both kinematic cuts and particle identification. At the end of the analysis chain we find BR(K_S->e+e-) < 9.3 x 10^-9 at 90% CL, which improves by a factor of ~15 on the previous best result, obtained by CPLEAR experiment.
