Title: Search for the rare decay D 0 γ γ at Belle

Abstract

We search for the rare radiative decay D0 → γγ using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 832 fb–1 recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e asymmetric-energy collider. Furthermore we find no statistically significant signal and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(D0 → γγ) < 8.5 × 10–7 at 90% confidence level. This is the most restrictive limit on the decay channel to date.
