Abstract

The NA62 experiment at CERN reports a search for the lepton number violating decays K⁺→π⁻e⁺e⁺ and K⁺→π⁻μ⁺μ⁺ using a data sample collected in 2017. No signals are observed, and upper limits on the branching fractions of these decays of 2.2×10⁻¹⁰ and 4.2×10⁻¹¹ are obtained, respectively, at 90% confidence level. These upper limits improve on previously reported measurements by factors of 3 and 2, respectively.
