Abstract

We report the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay, Ds+K+K+πD^{+}_{s} \to K^{+}K^{+}\pi^{-} and the significantly improved measurement of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay, D+K+π+πD^{+} \to K^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} using 605 fb1\textrm{605 fb}^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider. The branching ratio with respect to its Cabibbo-favored counterpart are B(Ds+K+K+π)/B(Ds+K+Kπ+)=0.229±0.028±0.012)\mathcal{B}(D^{+}_{s} \to K^{+}K^{+}\pi^{-})/\mathcal{B}(D^{+}_{s} \to K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}) = 0.229\pm0.028\pm0.012)% and B(D+K+π+π)/B(D+Kπ+π+)=(0.569±0.018±0.014)\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to K^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})/\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}) = (0.569\pm0.018\pm0.014)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second is systematic. We also report the improved measurement of D+KS0K+D^{+} \to K^{0}_{S}K^{+} and Ds+KS0π+D^{+}_{s} \to K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+} branching ratios using the same amount of data samples. The measured branching ratios with respect to the Cabibbo-favored modes are B(D+KS0K+)/B(D+KS0π+)=(0.1899±0.0011±0.0018)\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to K^{0}_{S}K^{+})/\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}) = (0.1899\pm0.0011\pm0.0018) and B(Ds+KS0π+)/B(Ds+KS0K+)=(0.0803±0.0024±0.0012)\mathcal{B}(D^{+}_{s} \to K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+})/\mathcal{B}(D^{+}_{s} \to K^{0}_{S}K^{+}) = (0.0803\pm0.0024\pm0.0012).
