摘要
We have searched for the violation of baryon number B and lepton number L in the (B-L)-conserving modes tau(-) -> (Lambda) over bar pi(-) and tau(-) -> (Lambda) over barK(-) as well as the (B-L)-violating modes tau(-) -> Lambda pi(-) and tau(-) -> Lambda K- using 237 fb(-1) of data collected with the BABAR. detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) storage rings. We do not observe any signal and we determine preliminary upper limits on the branching fractions B(tau(-) -> (Lambda) over bar pi(-)>) < 5.9 x 10(-18) B(tau(-) -> Lambda pi(-)) < 5.8 x 10(-8), B(tau(-) -> (Lambda) over barK(-)) < 7.2 x 10(-8), and B(tau(-) -> Lambda K-) < 15 x 10(-8) at 90% confidence level.
