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 a search for electron-muon flavour violation in $\Upsilon(3{\mathrm{S}})$ and $\Upsilon(2{\mathrm{S}})$ decays to the $e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ final state. The search was conducted using data samples consisting of 118 million $\Upsilon(3{\mathrm{S}})$ and 96 million $\Upsilon(2{\mathrm{S}})$ mesons, collected at center-of-mass energies of 10.36 and 10.23 GeV, respectively, by the $BABAR$ detector at the SLAC PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider.
