Lepton Flavour Violation And Baryon Number Non-Conservation in tau to Lambda + h

Conference · · Nucl.Phys.Proc.Suppl.169:186-191,2007
OSTI ID:920019
We have searched for the violation of baryon number B and lepton number L in the (B - L)-conserving modes {tau}{sup -} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}{pi}{sup -} and {tau}{sup -} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}K{sup -} as well as the (B - L)-violating modes {tau}{sup -} {yields} {Lambda}{pi}{sup -} and {tau}{sup -} {yields} {Lambda}K{sup -} using 237 fb{sup -1} of data collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} storage rings. We do not observe any signal and we determine preliminary upper limits on the branching fractions {Beta}({tau}{sup -} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}{pi}{sup -}) < 5.9 x 10{sup -8}, {Beta}({tau}{sup -}{yields} {Lambda}{pi}{sup -}) < 5.8 x 10{sup -6}, {Beta}({tau}{sup -} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}K{sup -}) < 7.2 x 10{sup -8}, and {Beta}({tau}{sup -} {yields} {Lambda}K{sup -}) < 15 x 10{sup -8} at 90% confidence level.
