Abstract

Using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 2.93  fb-1 taken at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, we search for the Majorana neutrino (νm) in the lepton number violating decays D→Kπe+e+. No significant signal is observed, and the upper limits on the branching fraction at the 90% confidence level are set to be B(D0→K-π-e+e+)<2.8×10-6, B(D+→KS0π-e+e+)<3.3×10-6 and B(D+→K-π0e+e+)<8.5×10-6. The Majorana neutrino is searched for with different mass assumptions ranging from 0.25 to 1.0  GeV/c2 in the decays D0→K-e+νm,νm→π-e+ and D+→KS0e+νm,νm→π-e+, and the upper limits on the branching fraction at the 90% confidence level are at the level of 10-7∼10-6, depending on the mass of the Majorana neutrino. The constraints on the mixing matrix element |Veνm|2 are also evaluated.
