SU(3) symmetry and quark diagrams in weak nonleptonic decays of charmed hadrons
Abstract
The consequences of the SU(3)-symmetric and quark structures of weak nonleptonic decays of charmed hadrons are considered. The most general consequences of this structure are the relations between the decay amplitudes which follow from the selection rules in T, U, and V spins. A large number of additional relations for the decays of the charmed mesons D/sup +/, D/sup 0/, and F/sup +/ follow from the symmetry of the quark diagrams corresponding to these decays if we neglect all diagrams of the annihilation type. These relations have been obtained for two-particle and three-particle decays. From these in turn we have obtained experimentally verifiable relations between the probabilities of these decays. With use of the existing experimental data on nonleptonic decays of the D/sup +/ and D/sup 0/ mesons we have obtained estimates of the relative probabilities of all remaining decay modes of the same type. High relative probabilities (at the level of several percent) are predicted for the individual decay modes of D and F mesons into three pseudoscalar mesons in a symmetric state and into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson with a change of strangeness ..delta..S=-1, and also comparatively high probabilities (up to 1--2%) of certain modes ofmore »
