Abstract

We report results from a search for the decay

B_{s}^{0} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}

using

1.3 {fb}^{- 1}

of

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We find two candidate events, consistent with the expected background of

1.24 \pm 0.99

, and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of

B (B_{s}^{0} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}) < 1.2 \times 10^{- 7}

at the 95% C.L.
