Abstract
We present a search for the lepton flavor violating decay modes ${B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{h}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\ell}$ ($h=K$, $\ensuremath{\pi}$; $\ensuremath{\ell}=e$, $\ensuremath{\mu}$) using the BABAR data sample, which corresponds to $472\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ $B\overline{B}$ pairs. The search uses events where one $B$ meson is fully reconstructed in one of several hadronic final states. Using the momenta of the reconstructed $B$, $h$, and $\ensuremath{\ell}$ candidates, we are able to fully determine the $\ensuremath{\tau}$ four-momentum. The resulting $\ensuremath{\tau}$ candidate mass is our main discriminant against combinatorial background. We see no evidence for ${B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{h}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\ell}$ decays and set a 90% confidence level upper limit on each branching fraction at the level of a few times ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
