Abstract

The first observation of the D0->π+π-μ+μ- and D0->K+K-μ+μ- decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, and corresponding to 2 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay D0->K-π+[μ+μ-]ρ0/ω, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a ρ0 or ω meson. The results are B(D0->π+π-μ+μ-) = (9.64+-0.48+-0.51+-0.97)x10-7 and B(D0->K+K-μ+μ-) = (1.54+-0.27+-0.09+-0.16)x10-7, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated
