Abstract
We present searches for the leptonic decays and the lepton flavor violating decays , where , , with data collected by the BABAR experiment at SLAC. This search demonstrates a novel technique in which we fully reconstruct the accompanying in events, and look for a monoenergetic lepton from the signal decay. The signal yield is extracted from a fit to the signal lepton candidate momentum distribution in the signal rest frame. Using a data sample of approximately pairs (), we find no evidence of signal in any of the decay modes. Branching fraction upper limits of , , and , are obtained at 90% confidence level.
