The decay is forbidden in the standard model but allowed in models with a Majorana neutrino. No signal is observed in either channel and limits of B(B+→K−μ+μ+)<5.4×10−8 and B(B+→π−μ+μ+)<5.8×10−8 are set at the 95% confidence level. These improve the previous best limits by factors of 40 and 30, respectively. 2025-03-11T04:12:27Z 2025-03-11T04:12:27Z 2011 2012-03-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/3309 https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.101601 eng Physical Review Letters, 2012, Vol. 108, No. 10 (Març) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution 4.0 International © CERN American Physical Society
