Search for Lepton-Flavor Violating Decays B+ --> K+ mu± e∓

A search for the lepton-flavor violating decays + →+⁢±⁢∓ is performed using a sample of proton-proton collision data, collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb−1. No significant signal is observed, and upper li...

Descrição
Resumo:A search for the lepton-flavor violating decays + →+⁢±⁢∓ is performed using a sample of proton-proton collision data, collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb−1. No significant signal is observed, and upper limits on the branching fractions are set as ℬ⁡(+→+⁢−⁢+)<7.0⁢(9.5)×10−9 and ℬ⁡(+→+⁢+⁢−)<6.4⁢(8.8)×10−9 at 90% (95)% confidence level. The results improve the current best limits on these decays by more than one order of magnitude
