Abstract

A search for lepton flavor violating decays of the tau into either three charged leptons or one charged lepton and two charged hadrons was performed using 2.05 fb-1 of data collected by the CLEO-II experiment at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The upper limits obtained for 22 decay branching fractions are several times more stringent than those set previously.
