Sum rules for inclusive decays of charmed hadrons

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

Inclusive nonleptonic and semileptonic weak decays of the type c ..-->.. h + anything and c ..-->.. h + l/sup +/ + anything are considered, where c is a charmed hadron and h is an ordinary hadron belonging to the 3* and 8 representation of SU(3), respectively. The SU(3) relations for the inclusive decay rates are presented. These would provide tests of the isospin and SU(3) transformation properties of the weak charm-changing current and ..delta..C = ..delta..S nonleptonic interaction Hamiltonian in the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani scheme. We also point out that it may be possible to check these relations in the near future.
