Abstract
Searches for 12 neutrinoless decay modes of the which violate lepton-number conservation have been made using the reaction . No evidence for lepton-number violation is observed, and we have set upper limits (90% C.L.) on the branching ratio for each decay mode. The branching-ratio limits on the radiative decays and are 0.055 and 0.064%, respectively. For the charged lepton decays , , , and , the branching ratio limits are 0.040, 0.033, 0.044, and 0.049%, respectively. Upper limits on the branching ratios for the following charged lepton + neutral hadron decays are , , , , , and . We also use these data to search for the pair production in annihilation of some unconventional particles with masses less than about 3 GeV/.
