Description

An upper limit on the branching ratio of the decay K+→π+H, H→μ+μ- is set at 1.5x10-7 at the 90% confidence level, for a Higgs-boson mass in the interval 220<mH<320 MeV/c2. In addition, 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the branching ratios of the decays K+→π+μ+μ- and K+→μ+νμ+μ- are set at 2.3x10-7 and 4.1x10-7, respectively
