Nonfactorizable contributions to charm meson (D→ PP) decays

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Two-body weak decays of charm mesons into two pseudoscalar mesons are examined employing SU(3) flavor symmetry for the non-factorizable matrix elements. Using certain measured Cabibbo-favored modes, we fix the reduced matrix elements and predict the branching ratios of the Cabibbo-angle suppressed and doubly-suppressed decays of D and D s mesons.
