Search for the b --> d gamma process
The Belle Collaboration, D. Mohapatra
Abstract
We report the results of a search for the flavor-changing neutral current process b --> d gamma using a sample of 275 million B meson pairs accumulated by the Belle detector at KEKB. We find no significant signal for the exclusive decays B- --> rho- gamma, B0B --> rho0 gamma, or B0B --> omega gamma. Assuming an isospin relation between the three modes, we set an upper limit for the combined branching fraction Br(B --> (rho,omega) gamma) < 1.4 x 10-6 at the 90% confidence level. This limit can be used to constrain the ratio of CKM matrix elements |Vtd/Vts|.
