We have performed a search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B --> pi l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-, using a sample of 230 million Y(4S)-->BBbar decays collected with the BABAR detector. We observe no evidence of a signal and measure the upper limit on the isospin-averaged branching fraction to be BF(B --> pi l+ l-) < 9.1 x 10^{-8} at 90% confidence level. We also search for the lepton-flavor--violating decays B --> pi e mu and measure an upper limit on the isospin-averaged branching fraction of BF(B --> pi e mu) < 9.2 x 10^{-8} at 90% confidence level.

    No signal observed for B+ → π+ μ± e∓; branching fraction upper limit set at 1.8 × 10^{-9} at 90% CL.

  2. Features of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation in an $A_4$ Symmetric Neutrino Mass Model

    hep-ph 2025-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A reanalysis of an A4 neutrino mass model concludes meson CLFV decays can be near current bounds while radiative CLFV vanishes, but the radiative amplitude is computed incorrectly.
