Abstract

A search for B⁰_s → D^-0 f₀(980) decays is performed using 3.0 fb¹⁻ of pp collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The f₀(980) meson is reconstructed through its decay to the π⁺π⁻ final state in the mass window 900 MeV/c²< m(π⁺π⁻) < 1080 MeV/c². No significant signal is observed. The first upper limits on the branching fraction of B(B⁰_s → D^-0 f₀(980)) < 3.1 (3.4) × 10⁻⁶ are set at 90 % (95 %) confidence level.
