Search for $ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $ → ℓ ∓ τ ± with the semi-leptonic tagging method at Belle

We present a search for the lepton-flavor-violating decays ${B}_s^0$ → ℓ ∓ τ ± , where ℓ = e, μ, using the full data sample of 121 fb -1 collected at the Υ(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e - collider. We use ${B}_s^0{\overline{B}}_s^0$ events in which one ${B}_s^0$ meson is reconstructed in a semileptonic decay mode and the other in the signal mode. We find no evidence for (${B}_s^0$ → ℓ ∓ τ ± decays and set upper limits on their branching fractions at 90% confidence level as $\mathcal{B}$(${B}_s^0$ → e ∓ τ ± ) < 14 × 10 -4 and $\mathcal{B}$ (${B}_s^0$ → μ ∓ τ ± ) < 7.3 × 10 -4 . Our result represents the first upper limit on the ${B}_s^0$ → e ∓ τ ± decay rate.

Search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into a lepton and a vector meson using the full Belle data sample

Charged-lepton-flavor-violation is predicted in several new physics scenarios. We update the analysis of τ lepton decays into a light charged lepton (ℓ = e ± or μ ± ) and a vector meson (V 0 = ρ 0 , Φ, ω, K *0 , or $\overline{K}$ *0 ) using 980 fb -1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider. No significant excess of such signal events is observed, and thus 90% credibility level upper limits are set on the τ → ℓV 0 branching fractions in the range of (1.7–4.3) × 10 -8 . These limits are improved by 30% on average from the previous results.

Two-particle angular correlations in e + e - collisions to hadronic final states in two reference coordinates at Belle

We present the analysis of two-particle angular correlations using coordinate systems defined with the conventional beam axis and the event thrust axis. We propose the latter as a good representation for the correlation structure interpretation in the e + e - collision system. The e + e - collisions to hadronic final states at center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}$ = 10.52 GeV and 10.58 GeV are recorded by the Belle detector at KEKB. In this paper, results on the first dataset are supplementary to the previous Belle publication [1]. At the same time, the latter is the first two-particle correlation measurement at collision energy on the Υ(4S) resonance and is sensitive to its decay products. Measurements are reported as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity. Finally, a qualitative understanding of the correlation structure is discussed using a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data.

Measurement of two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1 P ) in γγ → χ c2 (1 P ) → J/ψγ at Belle

We report the measurement of the two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1P) in two-photon processes at the Belle experiment. We analyze the process γγ → χ c2 (1P) → J/ψγ, J/ψ → ℓ + ℓ - (ℓ = e or μ) using a data sample of 971 fb -1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - collider. In this analysis, the product of the two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1P) and the branching fraction is determined to be ${\Gamma}_{\gamma \gamma}({\chi}_{c2}(1P))\mathcal{B}({\chi}_{c2}(1P)\to J/\psi \gamma) \mathcal{B} (J/\psi \to {\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-})=$ 14.8 ± 0.3(stat.) ± 0.7(syst.) eV, which corresponds to Γ γγ (χ c2 (1P)) = 653 ± 13(stat.) ± 31(syst.) ± 17(B.R.) eV, where the third uncertainty is from $\mathcal{B}$ (χ c2 (1P) → J/ψγ) and $\mathcal{B}$ (J/ψ → ℓ + ℓ - ).

Evidence for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ω 0 c → Ξ¯π + and search for Ω 0 c → Ξ¯ K + and Ω¯K + decays at Belle

Using a data sample of 980 fb -1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e - collider, we study for the first time the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Ω 0 c → Ξ¯π + and Ω¯K + and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ω 0 c → Ξ¯ K + . Evidence for an Ω 0 c signal in the Ω 0 c → Ξ¯π + mode is reported with a significance of 4.5σ including systematic uncertainties.
