| Popis: | A sensitivity of the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider in a search for the rare decay $��\rightarrow e^+ e^-$ has been studied. The inverse reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow ��$ is proposed for this search. We have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected with the SND detector in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV and found no background events for the reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow ��$ in the decay mode $��\to��^0��^0��^0$. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to ${\cal B}(��\rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ of $10^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation. Such a sensitivity is better than the current upper limit on ${\cal B}(��\rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ by a factor of 2.3. 5 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in JETP Letters |
