Abstract

A study of the decay D0 → K− π+ μ+ μ− is performed using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb^−1. Decay candidates with muon pairs that have an invariant mass in the range 675–875 MeV/c^2 are considered. This region is dominated by the ρ0 and ω resonances. The branching fraction in this range is measured to be B(D0 → K− π+ μ+ μ−) = (4.17 ± 0.12(stat) ± 0.40(syst)) × 10^−6. This is the first observation of the decay D0 → K− π+ μ+ μ−. Its branching fraction is consistent with the value expected in the Standard Model.
