Abstract

A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays B0s→e±μ∓ and B0→e±μ∓ is performed based on a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1, collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The observed yields are consistent with the background-only hypothesis. Upper limits on the branching fractions are determined to be (B0s→e±μ∓)<5.4(6.3)×10−9 and (B0→e±μ∓)<1.0(1.3)×10−9 at 90%(95%) confidence level, which are the strongest limits on these decays to date.
