Abstract

none446siWe report a search for the rare decays B+→D+K0 and B+→D+K*0 in an event sample of approximately 465×106 BB⎯⎯⎯ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e− collider at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We find no significant evidence for either mode and we set 90% probability upper limits on the branching fractions of ℬ(B+→D+K0)<2.9×10−6 and ℬ(B+→D+K*0)<3.0×10−6.noneSanchez, Pd; Lees, Jp; Poireau, V; Prencipe, E; Tisserand, V; Tico, Jg; Grauges, E; Martinelli, M; Palano, A; Pappagallo, M; Eigen, G; Stugu, B; Sun, L; Battaglia, M; Brown, Dn; Hooberman, B; Kerth, Lt; Kolomensky, Yg; Lynch, G; Osipenkov, Il; Tanabe, T; Hawkes, Cm; Watson, At; Koch, H; Schroeder, T; Asgeirsson, Dj; Hearty, C; Mattison...
