Title: New Measurements of the $$\frac{\Gamma(D^+ \to \bar{K}^{*0} \mu^+ \nu)} {\Gamma(D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+)}$$ and $$\frac{\Gamma(D^+_s \to \phi \mu^+ \nu)} {\Gamma(D^+_s \to \phi \pi^+)}$$ Branching Ratios

Journal Article · · Phys.Lett.B

Using a large sample of charm semileptonic decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present new measurements of two semileptonic branching ratios. We obtain values of Γ(D + → K *0 μ + ν) Γ(D + →K - π + π + ) =0.602±0.010( stat )±0.021( sys ) and Γ(D s + →φμ + ν) Γ(D s + →φπ + ) =0.54±0.033( stat )±0.048( sys ) . Our D + → K *0 μ + ν result includes the effects of the s-wave interference discussed in Phys. Lett. B 535 (2002) 43.
