Abstract

We search for lepton-number- and baryon-number-violating decays τ−→p¯e+e−, pe−e−, p¯e+μ−, p¯e−μ+, p¯μ+μ−, and pμ−μ− using 921 fb−1 of data, equivalent to (841±12)×10^6 τ+τ− events, recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. In the absence of a signal, 90% confidence-level upper limits are set on the branching fractions of these decays in the range (1.8-4.0)×10−8. We set the world's first limits on the first four channels and improve the existing limits by an order of magnitude for the last two channels.
