Abstract
A search for the D0→π+π−μ+μ− decay, where the muon pair does not originate from a resonance, is performed using proton–proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of View the MathML source recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. No signal is observed and an upper limit on the relative branching fraction with respect to the resonant decay mode D0→π+π−ϕ(→μ+μ−), under the assumption of a phase-space model, is found to be
B(D0→π+π−μ+μ−)/B(D0→π+π−ϕ(→μ+μ−))<0.96
at 90% confidence level. The upper limit on the absolute branching fraction is evaluated to be B(D0→π+π−μ+μ−)<5.5×10−7 at 90% confidence level. This is the most stringent to date.
