Study of charged hadronic five-body decays of the D+ and D(s)+ mesons

Journal Article · · Phys.Lett.B
Charged hadronic five-body decays of D + and D s + mesons have been studied in the E687 photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. We report the first compelling evidence of the decay mode D + , D s + → π – π – β + π + π + and the measurements of the decays D + → K– π – π + π + π + , D s + → K – K + π – π + π + and D s + → φπ – π + π + . An analysis of the D + → K – π – π + π + π + resonance structure is also presented.
