1 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!

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.
