Download or read book Searches for the Baryon- and Lepton-number Violating Decays $B^0\rightarrow\Lambda_c^ \ell^-$, $B^-\rightarrow\Lambda\ell^-$, and $B^-\rightarrow\bar{\Lambda}\ell^-$ written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searches for B mesons decaying to final states containing a baryon and a lepton are performed, where the baryon is either [Lambda]{sub c} or [Lambda] and the lepton is a muon or an electron. These decays violate both baryon and lepton number and would be a signature of physics beyond the standard model. No significant signal is observed in any of the decay modes, and upper limits in the range (3.2 - 520) x 10−8 are set on the branching fractions at the 90% confidence level.
