Title: Search for Bs --> mu+ mu- at D0

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:918724

We report results from a search for the decay B{sup 0}{sub S} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} using 1.3 fb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We find two candidate events, consistent with the expected background of 1.24 {+-} 0.99, and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(B{sub S}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) < 1.2 x 10{sup -7} at the 95% C.L.
