Abstract

The present experimental status of searches for lepton flavor violating decays of the τ lepton to a lighter mass lepton and a photon or a pseudoscalar meson is presented. The results obtained are from e⁺e^- annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV by the \babar and the Belle detectors. In order to benefit from larger available datasets, the first \babar-Belle combinations of upper limits on the branching fractions of lepton flavor violating τ-decays are obtained.
