Abstract:

A search for lepton-flavor-violating interactions ep → μX and ep → τX has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 130 pb-1. The data were taken at center-of-mass energies, √s, of 300 and 318 GeV. No evidence of lepton-flavor violation was found, and constraints were derived on leptoquarks (LQs) that could mediate such interactions. For LQ masses below √s, limits were set on λeq1 √β ℓq, where λeq1 is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1, and βℓq is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton ℓ (μ or τ) and a quark q. For LQ masses much larger than √s, limits were set on the four-fermion interaction term λeqαλ ℓqβ/MLQ2 for LQs that couple to an electron and a quark qalpha and to a lepton ℓ and a quark q beta, where α and β are quark generation indices. Some of the limits are also applicable to lepton-flavor-violating processes mediated by squarks in R-Parity-violating supersymmetric models. In some cases, especially when a higher-generation quark is involved and for the process ep → τX, the ZEUS limits are the most stringent to date. © Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

We report on a search for Bs0â†Î+Î- and Bd0â†Î+Î- decays in ppÂcollisions at s=1.96TeV using 364â€â€pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. After applying all selection requirements, we observe no candidates inside the Bs0 or Bd0 mass windows. The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are B(Bs0↠Î+Î-)<1.5Ã-10-7 and B(Bd0â†Î+Î-) <3.9Ã-10-8 at 90% confidence level. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
