A sensitive search for the lepton-number-violating decay Xi(-)-->pmu(-)mu(-) has been performed using a sample of approximately 10(9) Xi(-) hyperons produced in 800 GeV/c p-Cu collisions. We obtain B(Xi(-)-->pmu(-)mu(-))<4.0x10(-8) at 90% confidence, improving on the best previous limit by 4 orders of magnitude.
利用在800 GeV/c的质子-铜碰撞中产生的约10⁹个Ξ⁻超子样本，对违反轻子数守恒的衰变Ξ⁻→π⁻μ⁻μ⁻进行了灵敏搜索。我们在90%置信水平下得到B(Ξ⁻→π⁻μ⁻μ⁻)<4.0×10⁻⁸，比之前的最佳限制提高了4个数量级。
