Abstract

A search for non-resonant D<inf>(s)</inf>⁺ → π⁺μ⁺μ^- and D<inf>(s)</inf>⁺ → π^-μ⁺μ⁺ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^-1, √at s=7TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011. No signals are observed and the 90% (95%) confidence level (CL) limits on the branching fractions are found to be B(D⁺ → π⁺μ⁺μ^-)<7.3(8.3)×10^-8, B(D<inf>s</inf>⁺ → π⁺μ⁺μ^-)<4.1(4.8)×10^-7, B(D⁺ → π^-μ⁺μ⁺)<2.2(2.5)×10^-8, B(D<inf>s</inf>⁺ → π^-μ⁺μ⁺)<1.2(1.4)×10^-7. These limits are the most stringent to date. © 2013 CERN.
