Search for decays of B-0 mesons into pairs of leptons: B-0 -> e(+)e(-), B-0 ->mu(+)mu(-), and B-0 -> e(+/-)mu(-/+)

We search for the decay of the B0 meson into a pair of leptons in the suppressed channels B0→e+e-, B0→μ+μ- and in the lepton number violating channel B0→e±μ∓ in a sample of 9.7×106 BB̄ pairs recorded by CLEO detector. No signal is found, and the following upper limits on the branching fractions are...
