LFV and LUV at CLEO Lepton-Flavor Violation: –Probe non-SM physics and/or SM extensions –Here, report on Upsilon(1S) Complements other studies MEG ( e ) @PSI Many searches for Lepton UniVersality: –“Sometimes a lepton is just a lepton” (Freud [sic]) –If not, then something interesting!

Lepton Flavor Violation Sakharov Conditions for Matter- Universe: –Baryon Number Violation (B [L=lepton no.]) –C-parity (CP-parity) Violation –Universe non-thermal for some time B, L “accidental symmetries”, but B-L good QN

5
Upsilon Decays access a different kinematic regime!
6
Or add interactions at new scale Datta et al (PRD60, 014011, 1999: Y l<0.01; J/p l<6x10 -7
7
CLEO search The detector: CLEO was the first “CLEO-type” detector 10 GeV energy regime; Good resolution!
8
Experimental Search Search for Y ; e Off-resonance samples used for control & comparison. Primary search variables are scaled momenta of two charged tracks. Extended maximum likelihood used to evaluate event-by-event consistency with LFV
9
Signal parametrized as f(scaled electron,scaled muon momentum)
10
Known backgrounds saturate observables
11
No signal observed over background set limits
12
Lepton Universality Here, “LUV” (nS) l + l - universal (if no BSM). LUV NOT statement that (nS) l + l - = (mS) l + l -. In case of Upsilon: –Y easiest 2 Back-to-Back tracks Direct Continuum Subtraction –Y ee coupling extracted through total Upsilon width Bhabha subtraction otherwise BIG –Here, discuss measurement of Y + comparison with Y and Y ee –Very similar to Y : straightforward ON-OFF –To minimize systematics, use consistent muon ID for both dilepton modes
13
Dielectronic widths (PRL96, 092003, 2006) NOTE: Precision measurements – typically 2%!
14
Measure tau pair xsct w/ many modes: “Expected ratio”=0.82 (phase space)
15
Compare on-off resonance yields:
16
MC to derive efficiency
17
RESULTS (relative)
18
Internal consistency
19
Absolute BF (+ratio just presented)
20
Conclusions Standard Model once again triumphs. –Although differences in dileptonic widths, resonance-to- resonance, are interesting… No indication of departures from SM, but keep looking… No more Upsilon resonance data Resonance program for J/psi underway.

LFV in the SM vs. SUSY (m eg) SM SUSY probes slepton mixing matrix ≈ 10 -12 LFV in the SM is immeasurable small SUSY models predicts BR( → e ) just below the current experimental limit of 1.2 x 10 -11 Decay → e is free of “SM background” (no hadronic corrections) LFV in the SM is immeasurable small SUSY models predicts BR( → e ) just below the current experimental limit of 1.2 x 10 -11 Decay → e is free of “SM background” (no hadronic corrections) The discovery of → e would by physics beyond the SM
