We present a search for the lepton flavor violating decay modes B+/- to h+/- tau l (h= K,pi; l= e,mu) using the BaBar data sample, which corresponds to 472 million BBbar pairs. The search uses events where one B meson is fully reconstructed in one of several hadronic final states. Using the momenta of the reconstructed B, h, and l candidates, we are able to fully determine the tau four-momentum. The resulting tau candidate mass is our main discriminant against combinatorial background. We see no evidence for B+/- to h+/- tau l decays and set a 90% confidence level upper limit on each branching fraction at the level of a few times 10^-5.

  1. Features of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation in an $A_4$ Symmetric Neutrino Mass Model

    hep-ph 2025-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A reanalysis of an A4 neutrino mass model concludes meson CLFV decays can be near current bounds while radiative CLFV vanishes, but the radiative amplitude is computed incorrectly.

  2. Combined explanation of the B-anomalies

    Four models for combined explanation of B anomalies are tested with general couplings, excluding three and constraining the fourth.
