Abstract:
We have searched for the decays B0Ds+a0B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_0^-, B0Ds+a0B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_0^-, B0Ds+a2B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_2^- and B0Ds+a2B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_2^- in a sample of about 230 million Υ(4S)BBˉ\Upsilon(4S) \rightarrow B{\bar B} decays collected with the {\sl BaBar} detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy BB-factory at SLAC. We find no evidence for these decays and set upper limits at 90\% C.L. on the branching fractions: B(B0Ds+a0)<1.9×105{\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^+ a_0^-) < 1.9\times 10^{-5}, B(B0Ds+a0)<3.6×105{\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+} a_0^-) < 3.6\times 10^{-5}, B(B0Ds+a2)<1.9×104{\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^+ a_2^-) < 1.9 \times 10^{-4}, and B(B0Ds+a2)<2.0×104{\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+} a_2^-) < 2.0\times 10^{-4} .
