Abstract

Using 3.3 pb1^{-1} of data collected with the CMD-2 detector in the 720 -- 840 MeV c.m. energy range, the branching fraction of the conversion decay ωπ0e+e\omega\to\pi^0e^+e^- has been measured: B(ωπ0e+e)=(8.19±0.71±0.62)104\mathcal{B}(\omega\to\pi^0e^+e^-)=(8.19\pm0.71\pm0.62)\cdot10^{-4}. The upper limits for the branching fractions of the following conversion decays have been obtained at the 90% confidence level: B(ρπ0e+e)<1.6105\mathcal{B}(\rho\to\pi^0e^+e^-)<1.6\cdot10^{-5}, B(ρηe+e)<0.7105\mathcal{B}(\rho\to\eta e^+e^-)<0.7\cdot10^{-5} and B(ωηe+e)<1.1105\mathcal{B}(\omega\to\eta e^+e^-)<1.1\cdot10^{-5}.
