Abstract
A search for exclusive decays of B-d(0) and B-s(0) mesons has been pre formed in the channels B-d(0) --> J eta, B-s(0) --> J eta, B-d(0) --> J(pi)(0) and B-s(0) --> J(pi)(0). The data smaple consisted of more th an three and a half million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 expe riment at LEP from 1991 through 1995. No candidate events have been ob served for any of the modes thus determining upper limits at 90% confi dence level: 3.2 x 10(-4) on Br(B-d(0) --> J(pi)(0)) and the first exp erimental limits: Br(B-d(0) --> J eta) < 1.2 x 10(-3), Br(B-s(0) --> J eta) < 3.8 x 10(-3), Br(B-s(0) --> J pi(0)) < 1.2 x 10(-3).
