Universality and Lepton Flavor Violation in ϒ Decays at CLEO

Abstract

I present two analyses done with the CLEOIII detector at CESR. The first is a search for the Lepton Flavor Violating decay Upsilon to mu tau, with preliminary results, and the second constrains Lepton Universality in Upsilon to tau tau relative to Upsilon to mu mu. This second analysis, whose results are final, has dramatically improved uncertainties relative to other such measurements, and is also the first observation of the decay Upsilon(3S) to tau tau. A limit is also set on the involvement of a CP odd Higgs in the decay of the Upsilon(1S) to tau pairs.
