Abstract

Results are presented from a search for the decays D0→K-π+ and D̅ 0→K+π- in a sample of 3.8×106 central Pb-Pb events collected with a beam energy of 158A GeV by NA49 at the CERN SPS. No signal is observed. An upper limit on D0 production is derived and compared to predictions from several models.
