Abstract

Searches for the lepton number violating K⁺→π⁻μ⁺e⁺ decay and lepton flavour violating decays K⁺→π⁺μ⁻e⁺ and π⁰→μ⁻e⁺ are reported, using NA62 data collected in 2017 and 2018. In the absence of a significant excess above the background in each channel, upper limits on the branching ratios are established at 90% confidence level: B(K⁺→π⁻μ⁺e⁺)<4.2×10, B(K⁺→π⁺μ⁻e⁺)<6.6×10⁻¹¹ , and B(π⁰→μ⁻e⁺)<3.2×10⁻¹⁰.
