چکیده
We report on a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay D0 → μ+μ− using 50 × 106 events recorded with a dimuon trigger in interactions of 920 GeV protons with nuclei by the HERA-B experiment. We find no evidence for such decays and set a 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction B(D0 →μ+μ−) < 2.0 × 10−6. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 13.20.Fc; 14.40.Lb

متن کامل2 00 5 Prospects for Measuring B 0 s → μ + μ − with the CMS Detector
The flavor-changing neutral current decay B 0 s → µ + µ − is highly suppressed in the standard model, but its branching fraction of 3.4 * 10 −9 could be significantly enhanced through contributions from new physics. At the LHC, this rare decay could be observed for the first time. In this contribution, the prospects for measuring B 0 s → µ + µ − with the CMS detector are presented. In particula...
متن کاملB → X s μ + μ − in Technicolor with Scalars
We compute the flavor changing neutral current process B → Xsμ +μ− in technicolor models with scalars. We find that the branching ratio can be enhanced relative to that of the Standard Model by as much as 60%. The full parameter space of the model is consistent with the present CLEO and CDF exclusive limits. However, the viability of the model could soon be tested since the decay signals are ex...
متن کاملCharm and Beauty Production at HERA–B
The HERA–B experiment at DESY has acquired a data-set of approximately 300,000 decays J/ψ→ l+l− during its 2002/2003 data-taking period. These data are used to analyze the production of heavy quarks in proton-nucleus interactions at a center-of-mass energy of 41.6 GeV. In this article, preliminary results of two measurements are discussed, a measurement of nuclear effects in the production of J...
