摘要：
We report the first searches for lepton flavour violating tau decays at a hadron collider. In particular, a search for the decay tau -> mu mu mu is presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) collected at 7 TeV by LHCb in 2011. The upper limit on the branching ratio could be set, B(tau(-) -> mu(+)mu(-)mu(-)) < 8.0 x 10(-8) at 90 % confidence level (the inclusion of the charge conjugate process is included). In addition, we report on the search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in lepton number violating B- -> mu(+)mu(-)mu(-) decay (as well as in its charge conjugate). In this case, the whole LHCb dataset is used (1.0 fb(-1) at root s = 7 TeV and 2 fb(-1) at root s = 8 TeV). No signal is found, and a limit on the branching ratio is set, B(B- -> mu(+)mu(-)mu(-)) < 4 x 10(-9) at 95 % confidence level. This limit is then used to set limits on the coupling between the hypothetical Majorana neutrino and muons.
