Search for B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-} at the BaBar Experiment.

چکیده
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-} using data from the BABAR experiment. The data sample, collected at the center-of-mass energy of the ϒ(4S) resonance, corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 424 fb^{-1} and to 471×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs. We reconstruct one B meson, produced in the ϒ(4S)→B^{+}B^{-} decay, in one of many hadronic decay modes and search for activity compatible with a B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-} decay in the rest of the event. Each τ lepton is required to decay leptonically into an electron or muon and neutrinos. Comparing the expected number of background events with the data sample after applying the selection criteria, we do not find evidence for a signal. The resulting upper limit, at the 90% confidence level, is B(B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-})<2.25×10^{-3}.

Hot Topics from the BABAR Experiment
With a sample of about 384 million BB pairs recorded with the BABAR detector, we search for the flavorchanging charged current transition B± → τ±ν and perform an amplitude analysis of the effective flavorchanging neutral current transition B± → φ(1020)K∗(892)± . We also extend our search for other K∗ final states in the decay B → φ(1020)K∗0 with a large K∗0 → K+π− invariant mass. Two samples of...

In supersymmetry with large tan β the decays B 0 (¯ B 0) → l + l − are dominated by the scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs penguin diagrams leading to strong enhancement of leptonic decay rates with potentially large CP asymmetries in the τ + τ − decay modes measurable in BELLE or BABAR experiments. The TAUOLA τ-lepton decay library supplemented by its universal interface can efficiently be used to ...
متن کاملRare Radiative and Leptonic B Decays : Recent Results from B A B
Recent BABAR and Belle results on rare B decays involving photons or lepton pairs are reviewed. New preliminary limits from both experiments for B → ργ and B 0 → ωγ, and from BABAR for B − → K − νν and B + → τ + ν τ are presented. Also summarized from the past year are Belle measurements of B → X s ℓ + ℓ − and B 0 → K * 2 (1430) 0 γ, preliminary BABAR measurements of B → X s γ, and preliminary ...
متن کاملRecent Results on Flavor Physics from BABAR
We report an update to our previous measurement of the CKM element |Vub| using exclusive B → π`ν decays. In the charm sector we have performed a measurement of fDs using D + s → τ ντ decays, we have measured the mixing parameter yCP using the lifetime ratio 〈τKπ〉 〈τhh〉 in D decays, and we have also searched for CP violation using T-odd correlations in D decays to K+K−π+π−. Finally, in the tau s...

τ − → Λπ− and τ− → ΛK− as well as the (B−L)-violating modes τ− → Λπ− and τ− → ΛK− using 237 fb of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee storage rings. We do not observe any signal and we determine preliminary upper limits on the branching fractions B(τ− → Λπ−) < 5.9 × 10, B(τ− → Λπ−) < 5.8 × 10, B(τ− → ΛK−) < 7.2 × 10, and B(τ− → ΛK−) < 15 × 10 at 90% confide...

We report on a search for the lepton flavor violating τ → μγ and τ → eγ decays based on 535 fb−1 of data accumulated at the Belle experiment. No signal is found and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching ratios B(τ → μγ) < 4.5× 10−8 and B(τ → eγ) < 1.2 × 10−7.
