Title: Study of the Decays of Charm Mesons With the BaBar Experiment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1027220

Presented hadronic form factor measurements of D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup -}e{sup +}{nu}{sub e} and D{sub s}{sup +} {yields} {phi}e{sup +}{nu}{sub e} with - dramatically reduced measurement error and first q{sup 2}-dependent study of D{sub s}{sup +} {yields} {phi}e{sup +}{nu}{sub e}. First observation at > 6.5{sigma} level of doubly-Cabibbo suppressed D{sup +} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup 0} decay mode - BF(D{sup +} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup 0}) = (2.52 {+-} 0.47(stat) {+-} 0.25(syst) {+-} 0.08(ref)) x 10{sup -4}. Improved measurements of Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored branching ratios for D{sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0} and D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup -}K{sup +}{pi}{sup 0} decay modes.
