Abstract: (Springer)
Using (10087 ± 44) × 106^{6}J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e+^{+}e^{−} storage ring at the center-of-mass energy of s \sqrt{s} = 3.097 GeV, we present a search for the rare semi-muonic charmonium decay J/ψ → D^{−}μ+^{+}νμ_{μ} + c.c.. Since no significant signal is observed, we set an upper limit of the branching fraction to be B \mathcal{B} (J/ψ → D^{−}μ+^{+}νμ_{μ} + c.c.) < 5.6 × 107^{−7} at 90% confidence level. This is the first search for the weak decay of charmonium with a muon in the final state.[graphic not available: see fulltext]
