Abstract
We report on a search for the radiative decay of to the pseudoscalar mesons and in decays collected with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The meson was reconstructed in the three modes , , or . The meson was reconstructed in the mode with decaying through any of the above three modes, and also , where . Five out of the seven submodes are found to have very low backgrounds. In four of them we find no signal candidates and in one [, , ] there are two good signal candidates, which is insufficient evidence to claim a signal. The other two submodes ( and ) are background limited, and show no excess of events in their signal regions. We combine the results from different channels and obtain upper limits at the 90% C.L. which are and . Our limits are an order of magnitude tighter than the previous ones and below the predictions made by some theoretical models.
