Abstract

We present a search for the decays B⁺ → μ⁺ ν_μ and B⁺ → e⁺ ν_e in a 253 fb^-1 data sample collected at the Υ{hooked} (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy B factory. We find no significant evidence for a signal and set 90% confidence level upper limits of B (B⁺ → μ⁺ ν_μ) < 1.7 × 10^-6 and B (B⁺ → e⁺ ν_e) < 9.8 × 10^-7.
