  10. J/ e m the invariant mass of electron and μ and the momenta of electron and μ ( MC) • The invariant mass of two charged tracks • The momentum of charge tracks, 1.45<P<1.65GeV/c ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  11. J/ e m • particle identification - identify e: E/P>0.7, μhit=0 - identify μ: E/P<0.3, μhit pass Pxy cuts , Pxy -transverse momentum. Cuts for isolated photon are we need no isolated photon. E/P of electron and μ(data) ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  12. J/ e m Survivals events ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  13. J/ e m Result • The upper limit of BR(J/e) with 58 M J/Ψ sample at BES could be got: Br < (NOB)/[NTJ/e] PLB 561(2003)49-54 ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  14. 2.2 J/μ τ , e τ • Events selection • 2 good charged tracks • Q(sum) = 0 • |cos| < 0.8 • 1.0<Pm(e)<1.08GeV/c Pe(m)<1.4GeV/c • E/P>0.7 for electron Ebsc<0.3 for μ • Muonhit=3 for μ Muonhit=0 for electron (a) (b) ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  15. J/ mt,et Detector efficiency μ ID efficiency in μcounter is determined from real μdata. Others are from MC simulation. Efftotal = effMC*effμID. effμID= ii here, iis the weight of events, i is the ith efficiency from μ real data sample. Systematic error Systematic error is incorporated when calculating upper limit:Un=Un0(1+En2) where En= Un0-1 ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  16. 2 σ regions from MC J/ mt candidate J/ et candidate J/ mt,et • Background event is0forJ/tomt . • Background event is0.4forJ/toet . which is fromJ/to K*K. ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

The expectations on the CP violation in KS KS is at 10-9 level for both J/ and ’ , and that for EPR is at 10-8 level by some theories. ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004 PLB 589, 7 (2004)

  23. 4.Summary • No evidence for direct LFV has been found in these searches. These searches reached new upper limits for LFV processes Br(J/Ψ→e) < 1.110-6 ; Br(J/Ψ→) < 2.010-6 ; Br(J/Ψ→e) < 8.310-6 (@ 90%C.L.) • CP Violation search:the upper limit for Br( KS KS ) < 1.0 10-6 and B(’ KS KS ) < 4.6 10-6 (@ 95%C.L.) ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004

  24. Prospect BES III with 1010J/Ψ events and 3109Ψ(2S) events in one year’s running can further improve these measurements with much higher sensitivities, and may reach the level to test the prediction for some theoretical model. 谢谢！ Thank you ! ICHEP04,Beijing,August 17,2004
