In this paper, we propose two novel signatures of Higgs decays to search for electron-muon flavor violation. These signatures arise from the presence of a light pseudoscalar into which the 125-GeV Higgs boson decays. The pseudoscalar…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson ($A^0$) in the fully reconstructed decay chain of $\Upsilon(2S,3S) \to \pipi\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(1S) \to \g A^0$, $A^0 \to \mumu$. The $A^0$ is predicted by several extensions of…
The fundamental nature of mass is one of the greatest mysteries in physics. The Higgs mechanism is a theoretically appealing way to account for the different masses of elementary particles and implies the existence of a new, yet unseen…
In this Letter we describe a search for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the bottomonium system. We search for leptonic decays of Upsilon(nS)(n=1,2, and 3) into muon and tau using the data collected with the CLEO III detector. We identify…
We present a search for the charged lepton-flavor-violating decays $\Upsilon(1S)\rightarrow\ell\ell^\prime$ and radiative charged lepton-flavour-violating decays $\Upsilon(1S)\rightarrow\gamma\ell\ell^\prime$ [$\ell,\ell^\prime = e, \mu,…
Charged lepton flavor violation is an unambiguous signature for New Physics. Here we present a summary of the theoretical and experimental status of the search for charged lepton flavor violation in heavy particle decays, in particular in…
We search for single-photon decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance, Upsilon->gamma+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs boson A0, or a pair of dark matter particles, chi chi-bar.…
We have searched for lepton flavor violating decays of a $\tau$ to a lighter-mass charged lepton and an $\omega$ vector mesonusing 384.1 $fb^{-}$ of $e^+e^- $ annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at the Stanford Linear…
This article presents the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the lepton-flavour-violating decays of $\tau\to 3\mu$. A method utilising the production of $\tau$ leptons via $W\to\tau\nu$ decays is used. This method is applied to the…
A search for lepton flavour violating decays of the Higgs boson in the $\mu\tau$ and e$\tau$ decay modes is presented. The search is based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions…
We present selected new results on leptonic B meson decays from the BaBar experiment: searches for the decays B0->l+l-, B+->l+nu and B0->l+tau-, and B->Knunubar, where l=e or mu. The decay modes imply also their charge conjugations. We…
Results are reported from a search for the lepton flavor violating decay $\tau$ $\to$ 3$\mu$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 33.2 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS…
The BaBar experiment recorded 471 x 10^6 BBbar pairs at the Y(4S) resonance (corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 429 fb^-1). We present here a selection of recent results from the BaBar collaboration: search for lepton-number…
Using a sample of 122 million Upsilon(3S) events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC, we search for the $h_b(1P)$ spin-singlet partner of the P-wave chi_{bJ}(1P) states in the sequential…
Considering the constraints from the experimental data on $\mu\rightarrow e\gamma$, $\mu\rightarrow3e$, $\mu-e$ conversion etc., we analyze the Lepton Flavor Violating decays $\phi(J/\Psi,\Upsilon(1S)) \rightarrow e^+\mu^-(\mu^+\tau^-)$ in…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson (A^0) produced in radiative \Upsilon(1S) decays. The \Upsilon(1S) sample is selected by tagging the pion pair in the \Upsilon(2S, 3S) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \Upsilon(1S) transitions, using a…
We present a search for the decay $B^{-} \to \tau^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ in a sample of $88.9 \times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded with the BaBar detector at the SLAC $B$-Factory. One of the two $B$ mesons from the $\Upsilon(4S)$ is…
Singly and doubly charged Higgs bosons in the Higgs Triplet Model mediate the lepton flavour violating (LFV) decays tau to \bar{l}ll and mu to e gamma. The LFV decay rates are proportional to products of two triplet Yukawa couplings…
The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have reported the observation of a possible excess of events corresponding to a new particle $h$ with mass $\sim 125$ GeV that might be the long-sought Higgs boson, or something else. Decyphering the…
