Title: Search for the decay B s 0 η η

Abstract

We report results from a search for the decay $$B^0_s$$ → $ηη$ using 121.4 fb-1 of data collected at the $Υ(5S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We do not observe any signal and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of 14.3 x 10-5 at 90% confidence level. This result represents a significant improvement over the previous most stringent limit.
