B0 s branching fraction is computed to be (3.7+0.6 0.7) स 10 with a signal significance of 10.6 including the systematic uncertainties. This result is in good agreement with the theoretical predictions and a recent indirect estimate from LHCb. We do not observe any significant signal for the B0 s and have thus set the 90% confidence level upper limit on its branching fraction to be 3.1 This result improves on the previously published 90% confidence level upper limit by a factor of about 3 and provides the most stringent limit till date.enPHYSICSThesis
