High Energy Physics - Experiment

Title: Search for charged lepton flavor violation in $J/ψ$ decays at BESIII

Authors: Xudong Yu
Abstract: In the Standard Model, charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is heavily suppressed by tiny neutrino mass, while many theoretical models can enhance CLFV effects up to a detectable level. The observation of any CLFV process would be a clear signal of new physics beyond SM. BESIII experiment collected 10 billion $J/\psi$ data and searched for CLFV processes $J/\psi\to e\tau$ and $e\mu$. The upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\tau)<7.5\times 10^{-8}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to e\mu)<4.5\times 10^{-9}$, respectively. Improving the previously experimental limits by two orders of magnitudes, the results are the most stringent CLFV searches in the heavy quarkonium system.
