Abstract

We have searched a sample of 9.6 million BB̄ events for the lepton-flavor-violating decays B→he^±μ^±, B⁺→h^-e^-e⁺, B⁺→h^-e⁺μ⁺, and B⁺→h^-μ^-μ⁺, where h is π, K, p, and K*(892), a total of sixteen modes. We find no evidence for these decays, and place 90% confidence level upper limits on their branching fractions that range from 1.0 to 8.3×10^-6.
