We have searched for the violation of baryon number B and lepton number L in the (B-L)-conserving modes tau- -> anti-Lambda0 pi- and tau- -> anti-Lambda0 K- as well as the (B-L)-violating modes tau- -> Lambda0 pi- and tau- -> Lambda0 K-…

Baryon number violation is our most sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model, especially through the study of nucleon decays. Angular momentum conservation requires a lepton in the final state of such decays, kinematically…
