We search for the lepton flavor-violating T + ~7 decay using 29.7 million T pairs accumulated by the Belle experiment. The main background sources are found to be r pairs with r + ~YU decay and radiative pp events. One event is observed in the signal region, while 2.5 f 0.6 background events are exp

✦ Synopsis
Using data collected with the BABAR detector between 1999 and 2001, we describe a search for the neutrinoless decay τ → µγ. This data sample includes data collected both on and off the Υ (4S) resonance and corresponds to 56 × 10 6 produced tau pair events. The search has an efficiency of 5.2 ± 0.1(M Cstat) ± 0.5(sys)% and an expected background rate of 7.8 ± 1.4 events. We select 13 events in the final sample. As there is no evidence for a signal in this data, we set an upper limit of B(τ → µγ) < 2.0 × 10 -6 @90%CL.
