We present a search for ten baryon number violating decay modes of $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ hyperons using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. Nine of these decay modes result in a single meson and single lepton in the final state ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}m\ensuremath{\ell}$) and conserve either the sum or the difference of baryon and …
