We report on a search for the decays B0 --> mu+mu-, B --> mu+mu-X and B(d)0 --> mu+mu-K0*, which are expected to be rare if mediated by flavor changing neutral currents. Using data collected during the 1984-1989 CERN ppBAR Collider runs, the UA1 search was carried out using mu+mu- events with 3.9 < M(mu-mu) < 5.5 GeV/c2.

Abstract

We report on a search for the decays B0 --> mu+mu-, B --> mu+mu-X and B(d)0 --> mu+mu-K0*, which are expected to be rare if mediated by flavor changing neutral currents. Using data collected during the 1984-1989 CERN ppBAR Collider runs, the UA1 search was carried out using mu+mu- events with 3.9 < M(mu-mu) < 5.5 GeV/c2. We find 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching ratios for B0 --> mu+mu- of 8.3 x 10(-6), for B --> mu+mu-X of 5.0 x 10(-5), and for B(d)0 --> mu+mu-K0* of 2.3 x 10(-5). Implications for upper limits on the t-quark mass are discussed.
