Abstract

We report a search for the rare decays $B^{+} \to D^{+} K^{0}$ and $B^{+} \to D^{+} K^{* 0}$ in an event sample of approximately $465 \times 10^{6}$ $B \bar{B}$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^{+} e^{-}$ collider at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We find no significant evidence for either mode and we set 90% probability upper limits on the branching fractions of $B (B^{+} \to D^{+} K^{0}) < 2.9 \times 10^{- 6}$ and $B (B^{+} \to D^{+} K^{* 0}) < 3.0 \times 10^{- 6}$ .
