We study lepton-number-violating interactions at dimension seven in the Standard Model effective field theory that contribute to the meson decays $B \to K \nu \nu$ and $K \to \pi \nu \nu$. Such interactions could washout the baryon…
We present a search for new heavy particles, $X$, which decay via $X rightarrow WZ \to e\nu +jj$ in $p{\bar p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV. No evidence is found for production of $X$ in 110 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the…
