Search for radiativeB meson decays

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The Crystal Ball detector at thee + e − storage ring DORIS-II has been used to search for radiativeB meson decays, especially of the typeb→sγ. No monoenergetic γ-lines have been found in the inclusive photon spectrum from У(4S) decays, and upper limits are obtained for radiative decays ofB mesons to various strange mesons and to theD *. Integrating the photon spectrum over the corresponding energy range, we find

$$BR(B \to \gamma X)< 2.8 \times 10^{ - 3} ,$$

at 90% confidence level for the mass range 892 MeV ≦M X ≦2045 MeV.
