No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit on the isospin and lepton-flavor averaged branching fraction of B(B -> pi l(+)l(-)) < 5.9 x 10(-8) and a lepton-flavor averaged upper limit of B(B-0 -> eta l(+)l(-)) < 6.4 x 10(-8), both at the 90{\%} confidence level. We also report 90{\%} confidence level branching fraction upper limits for the individual modes B+ -> pi(+)e(+)e(-), B-0 -> pi(0)e(+)e(-), B-0 -> pi(+)mu(+)mu(-), B-0 -> pi(+)mu(+)mu(-), B-0 -> pi(0)mu(+)mu(-), B-0 -> eta e(+)e(-), and B-0 ->eta mu(+)mu(-).", optnote="WOS:000323609500002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1562), last updated on Thu, 19 Sep 2013 15:13:31 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.88.032012", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1303.6010", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.88.032012", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1303.6010", language="English" }
