Search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay $J/\psi \to e\tau$

Abstract

A search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay $J/\psi \to e^{\pm }{\tau }^{\mp }$ with ${\tau }^{\mp }\to {\pi }^{\mp }{\pi }^0{\nu }_{\tau }$ is performed with about $10$ billion $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII. No significant signal is observed, and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to e^{\pm }{\tau }^{\mp })<7.5\times 10^{-8}$ at the 90$\%$ confidence level. This improves the previously published limit by two orders of magnitude.
