Abstract: (arXiv)
We report the results of a search for flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-flavor, and lepton-number violating decays of the 3 and 4-body decay modes of D0 (and its antiparticle) containing muons and electrons. Using data from Fermilab charm hadroproduction experiment E791, we examine modes with two leptons and either a Rho(0), Kstar, or Phi vector meson or a non-resonant Pi Pi, K Pi, or K K pair of pseudoscalar mesons. No evidence for any of these decays is found. Therefore, we present branching-fraction upper limits at 90% confidence level for the 27 decay modes examined (18 new).- pi- nucleus: inclusive reaction
- D0: hadroproduction
- D0: semileptonic decay
- neutral current: flavor changing
- violation: flavor
- lepton number: violation
- lepton: pair production
- vector meson: production
- rho(770)0
- K*(892)
