Abstract

We present the results of a search for the flavor changing neutral current decay B0S→μ+μ- using 6.1 fb-1 of pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The observed number of B0s candidates is consistent with background expectations. The resulting upper limit on the branching fraction is Β(B0S→μ+μ-)<5.1x10-8 at the 95% C.L. This limit is a factor of 2.4 better than that of the previous D0 analysis and the best limit to date.
