Title: Search for rare leptonic B decays at the Tevatron

Conference · · Int.J.Mod.Phys.A20:3631-3635,2005
OSTI ID:15017040

Results of a search for the Flavor-Changing Neutral Current decay B{sub s,d}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} using p{bar p} collision data at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV collected at Fermilab Tevatron collider by the CDF and D0 detectors are presented. CDF reports upper limits on {Beta}(B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) {le} 7.5 {center_dot} 10{sup -7} and {Beta}(B{sub d}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) {le} 1.9 {center_dot} 10{sup -7} at the 95% C.L. using 171 pb{sup -1}. The D0 Collaboration used 240 pb{sup -1} to set an even more stringent limit on the branching ratio for B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} of 5.0 {center_dot} 10{sup -7} at the 95% C.L..
