N2 - A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays Bs0→e±μ∓ and B0→e±μ∓ is performed based on a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1, collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The observed yields are consistent with the background-only hypothesis. Upper limits on the branching fraction of the Bs0→e±μ∓ decays are evaluated both in the hypotheses of an amplitude completely dominated by the heavy eigenstate and by the light eigenstate. The results are @/@ℬ(Bs0→e)<6.3(5.4)×10−9 and @/@ℬ(Bs0→e)<7.2(6.0)×10−9 at 95% (90%) confidence level, respectively. The upper limit on the branching fraction of the B0 → e±μ∓ decay is also evaluated, obtaining @/@ℬ(B0→e)<1.3(1.0)×10−9 at 95% (90%) confidence level. These are the strongest limits on these decays to date.
