Abstract
A search for a massless beyond-standard-model particle is performed in the decay Ξ0 → Λ + invisible using (1.0087 ± 0.0044) × 1010J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. No significant signal is observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction ℬ(Ξ0 → Λ + invisible) is set to be 2.3 × 10−4 at the 90% confidence level. This is the first search for a flavor-changing neutral current process with missing energy in Ξ0 decays. Throughout this paper, charge-conjugate processes are always implied.File in questo prodotto:
