An experimental search for the lepton-family number nonconserving decay, .mu. .-->. e.gamma gamma., has been conducted at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) using the Crystal Box detector. The detector consists of a modular NaI(Tl) calorimeter, scintillator hodoscope, and a high-resolution, cylindrical drift chamber. It provides a large solid-angle for detecting three-body decays and has good resolutions in the time, position, and energy measurements to eliminate unwanted backgrounds. No evidence for .mu.+ .-->. e+.gamma gamma. is found, giving an upper limit for the branching ratio of GAMMA(.mu. .-->. e.gamma gamma.)/GAMMA(.mu. .-->. e nu anti nu) less than or equal to 7.2 x 10−11 (90% C.L.). This result is an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude in the existing limit. 109 refs., 39 figs.

The MEGA experiment is designed to search for the lepton-flavor number non-conserving rare decay [mu] [yields] [ital e][gamma]. Data- taking is complete, with 450 million events on tape taken over approximately 10[sup 7] seconds. A small portion of the data sample has been processed through the complete event reconstruction codes to search for the [mu] [yields] [ital e][gamma] process. No evidence for the [mu] [yields] [ital e][gamma] decay is observed at a sensitivity of [approximately]7 x 10[sup -11] (90% confidence).

This Letter reports a new experimental search for the family-number-nonconserving decay ..mu.. ..-->.. e..gamma ... There is no evidence for the presence of this decay mode. The upper limit for the branching ratio is GAMMA(..mu.. ..-->.. e..gamma..)/GAMMA(..mu.. ..-->.. enu anti nu)

The MEG experiment is the latest in a series of progressively more precise rare decay searches designed to exploit an observation of [mu]+[superscript] [arrow right] e+[superscript] [gamma] or lack thereof as a sensitive low energy probe of new physics. A search for [mu]+[superscript] [arrow right] e+[superscript] [gamma] is performed using the 43 days worth of data acquired by the MEG experiment during 2009. To best estimate the number of signal events in the data, a maximum likelihood fit is performed. A 90% confidence interval is then constructed using the Feldman-Cousins technique. The analysis is done blind by hiding signal-like events until the selection cuts and likelihood function are settled upon. The result is consistent with the null hypothesis and an upper limit is set: BR([mu]+[superscript] [arrow right] e+[superscript] [gamma]

We report the result of a search for the rare decay B° 2![gamma][gamma] in 426 fb−1 of data, corresponding to 226 million B°{bar B}° pairs, collected on the [Upsilon](4S) resonance at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee− collider using the BABAR detector. We use a maximum likelihood fit to extract the signal yield and observe 2112{sup +13} signal events with a statistical signficance of 1.9 [sigma]. This corresponds to a branching fraction [Beta](B° 2![gamma][gamma]) = (1.7 ± 1.1(stat.) ± 0.2(syst.)) x 10−7. Based on this result, we set a 90% confidence level upper limit of [Beta](B° 2![gamma][gamma])

This thesis describes a search for the rare radiative decay B0 → [gamma][gamma], where the charged congugate mode is implied throughout. These decays are highly suppressed in the Standard Model where the branching fraction is expected to be of order 10-8. In some new physics scenarios this could be enhanced by up to an order of magnitude to 10-7. Therefore an observation of a significant signal above the Standard Model prediction could be a sign of new physics.
