Search for D0 to p e- and D0 to pbar e+

Understand

Using data recorded by CLEO-c detector at CESR, we search for simultaneous baryon and lepton number violating decays of the D^0 meson, specifically, D^0 --> p-bar e^+, D^0-bar --> p-bar e^+, D^0 --> p e^- and D^0-bar --> p e^-.

• We set the following branching fraction upper limits: D^0 --> p-bar e^+ (D^0-bar --> p-bar e^+) < 1.1 *10^{-5} and D^0 --> p e^- (D^0-bar --> p e^-) < 1.2 * 10^{-5}, both at 90% confidence level.
