Branching ratios of the decays D0 ---> anti-K0 K0 and D0 ---> K0(s) K0(s) K0(s)

Journal Article · · Phys.Lett.B

The branching ratios of D 0 → K 0 K 0 and D 0 → K s 0 K s 0 K s 0 relative to D 0 → K 0 π + π - are reported. The data were accumulated in the 1990–1991 fixed target running period of the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. Γ (D 0 → K 0 K 0 )/Γ (D 0 → K 0 π + π - is measured to be 0.039±0.013±0.013 and Γ (D 0 →K s 0 K s 0 K s 0 )/Γ (D 0 → K 0 π + π - ) is measured to be 0.035±0.012±0.006. We also measure Γ (D 0 → K 0 π + π - /Γ (D 0 → K - π + ) to be 1.61±0.10±0.15.
