    Paper

    We report a search for lepton-flavor-violating decays \(\tau^- \to \ell^- \phi\) (\(\ell^- =e^-,\mu^-\)) at the Belle II experiment, using a sample of electron-positron data produced at the SuperKEKB collider in 2019-2021 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 190 fb\(^{-1}\). We use a new untagged selection for \(e^+e^- \to \tau^+\tau^-\) events, where the signal \(\tau\) is searched for as a neutrinoless final state of a single charged lepton and a \(\phi\) meson and the other \(\tau\) is not reconstructed in any specific decay mode, in contrast to previous measurements by the BaBar and Belle experiments. We find no evidence for \(\tau^- \to \ell^- \phi\) decays and obtain upper limits on the branching fractions at 90% confidence level of 23 \(\times 10^{-8}\) and 9.7\(\times 10^{-8}\) for \(\tau^- \rightarrow e^-\phi\) and \(\tau^- \rightarrow \mu^-\phi\), respectively
