Search for lepton-flavor-violating decays of B mesons uri icon

abstract

  • We have searched a sample of 9.6 million (Formula presented) events for the lepton-flavor-violating decays (Formula presented) (Formula presented) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) where h is (Formula presented) K, (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) a total of sixteen modes. We find no evidence for these decays, and place 90% confidence level upper limits on their branching fractions that range from 1.0 to (Formula presented). 2002 The American Physical Society.
