Search for X ( 3872 ) → π + π - π 0 at Belle

We present a search for the decay X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 in the (772 ±11) ×10 6 Y⁡(4⁢S)→B⁢$\overline{B}$ data sample collected at the Belle detector, where the X⁡(3872) is produced in B ± → K ± X⁢⁡(3872) and B 0 →K$^{0}_{S}$X(3872) decays. We do not observe a signal, and set 90% credible upper limits for two different models of the decay processes: if the decay products are distributed uniformly in phase space, $\mathscr{B}$⁡(X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 )<1.3%, and if M⁡(π + ⁢π - ) is concentrated near the mass of the D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ 0 pair in the process X⁡(3872) → D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ *0 + c.c. → D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ 0 ⁢π 0 → π + ⁢π - π 0 , $\mathscr{B}$⁡⁡(X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 )<1.2×10 -3 .

Implications of the Upper Bound on h → μ + μ - on the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

The upper bounds from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on the decay rate of the Higgs boson to two muons provide the strongest constraint on an imaginary part of the muon Yukawa coupling. This bound is more than an order of magnitude stronger than bounds from $\mathcal{CP}$-violating observables, specifically the electric dipole moment of the electron. It excludes a scenario $-$ which had been viable prior to these measurements $-$ that a complex muon Yukawa coupling is the dominant source of the baryon asymmetry. Even with this bound, the muon source can still contribute ${\cal O}(16\%)$ of the asymmetry.
