Search for ∆S = 2 nonleptonic hyperon decays Ω− → Σ0π− and Ω− → nK−

Abstract Using (27.12 ± 0.14) × 10 8 ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of$$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 3.686 GeV, we search for the first time for two nonleptonic hyperon decays that change strangeness by two units, Ω − → Σ 0 π − and Ω − →nK − . No significant signal is observed. The upper limits on their decay branching fractions are determined to be$$ \mathcal{B} $$ B (Ω − → Σ 0 π − )<5.4 × 10 −4 and$$ \mathcal{B} $$ B (Ω − →nK − )<2.4 × 10 −4 at the 90% confidence level.
