A search for the lepton-flavor violating decay K.--> pi.mu.+e− has been performed. Measurements have also been made of the branching ratio and decay particle distributions for the decay K+.--> pi.+e−. A description of the measurement technique, and preliminary results are presented. 6 refs., 5 figs.

We present a search for the lepton flavor violating decay modes B{sup ±} → h{sup ±} [tau]l (h = K, [pi]; l = e, [mu]) using the BABAR data sample, which corresponds to 472 million B{bar B} pairs. The search uses events where one B meson is fully reconstructed in one of several hadronic final states. Using the momenta of the reconstructed B, h, and l candidates, we are able to fully determine the [tau] four-momentum. The resulting [tau] candidate mass is our main discriminant against combinatorial background. We see no evidence for B{sup ±} → h{sup ±} [tau]l decays and set a 90% confidence level upper limit on each branching fraction at the level of a few times 10−5.
