Abstract

Results are presented from a search for the decays D0 -> K-pi+ and anti-D0 -> K+pi- in a sample of 3.8 10^6 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.
