Abstract:

We have searched for lepton flavor violating decays of the τ lepton with one or two KS0 mesons in the final state. The data used in the search were collected with the CLEO II and II.V detectors at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 13.9 fb-1 at the Y (4S) resonance. No evidence for signals were found; therefore, we have set 90% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the branching fractions Β(τ- → e- K S0)<9.1×10-7, Β(τ- →μ- KS0)<9.5×10-7, Β(τ- → e-KS0K S0) <2.2× 10-6, and Β(τ- → μ- KS0K S0)<3.4×10-6. These represent significantly improved upper limits on the two-body decays and first upper limits on the three-body decays. © 2002 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have performed a search for radiative 6-hadron decays using events produced in ppÌ… collisions at √s=1.8TeV and collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The decays we considered were B0Ì…d→K*0(→K-Ï€+γ, B0Ì…s→φ(→K+K-)γ,0b→γ(→p03°ä0-)γ), and their charge conjugates. Two independent methods to identify photons from such decays were employed. In the first method, the photon was detected in the electromagnetic calorimeter. In the second method, the photon was identified by an electron-positron pair produced through the external photon conversion before the tracking detector volume. By combining the two methods we obtain upper limits on the branching fractions for the B0Ì…d, B0Ì…s and γ,0b radiative decays which, at the 95% confidence level, are found to be B(B0Ì…d→K*0γ<1.4×-4,B(B0Ì…d→ϵ¥³)<1.6×-4,and (γ,0b→γγ)<1.9×-3.
