Charged Lepton Flavor Violation Parallel

Description

Charged lepton flavour violating processes are unobservable in the standard model, but they are predicted to be enhanced in several new physics extensions. We present the results of a search for $\Upsilon(2{\mathrm{S}})$ and $\Upsilon(3{\mathrm{S}})$ decays to $e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ decays.
The search was conducted using data samples consisting of 99 million $\Upsilon(2{\mathrm{S}})$ and 122 million $\Upsilon(3{\mathrm{S}})$ mesons, collected at center-of-mass energies of 10.23 and 10.36~GeV, respectively, by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider
