We propose a phenomenological three component model describing the decay amplitude of the process $D_{s}^{+} \ra 3\pi$. The first component is a constant background, the second one is a Breit-Wigner amplitude associated to a quasi two-body…
We present results of a search for $D^0$-$\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$~mixing and a measurement of $R_{\rm D}$, the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays to Cabibbo-favored decays, based on an analysis of $D^0 \to K^{+}\pi^{-}$…
The D0 meson can decay to the wrong sign K+pi- state either through a doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay or via mixing to the D0bar state followed by the Cabibbo favoured decay D0bar -> K+ pi-. We measure the rate of wrong sign decays relative…
Quantum-correlated psi(3770)->DDbar decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment are used to perform first measurements of F+, the fractional CP-even content of the self-conjugate decays D->pi+pi-pi0 and D->K+K-pi0. Values of 0.968 +/- 0.017…
Using a sample of 3 million psi(2S) decays recorded by the CLEO detector, we study three-body decays of the chi_c0, chi_c1, and chi_c2 produced in radiative decays of the psi(2S). We consider the final states pi+ pi- eta, K+ K- eta, p p-bar…
The singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{-}K^{+}\pi^{+}$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of $6.4\sigma$ by using 4.5 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at center-of-mass…
We investigate the decays $D^0\to\pi^-\ell^+\nu$ and $D^0\to K^-\ell^+ \nu$, where $\ell$ is $e$ or $\mu$, using approximately 7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the CLEO III detector. We find $R_0\equiv {\cal B}(D^0\to…
Using e+e- -> Ds^-Ds^{*+} and Ds^{*-}Ds^+ interactions at 4170 MeV collected with the CLEO-c detector, we investigate the semileptonic decays Ds+ -> f0(980) e+ nu, and Ds+ -> phi e+ nu. By examining the decay rates as functions of the…
The observation by the CLEO Collaboration of the decays $B^{(+,0)} \to K^{(+,0)} \eta'$ is shown to imply a significant but still uncertain contribution from the flavor-SU(3)-singlet component of the $\eta'$. By comparing the rate for these…
We examine e+e- --> Ds- Ds*+ and Ds*- Ds+ interactions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant fDs+. We use the Ds+ --> l+ nu channel, where the l+ designates either a mu+ or a tau+, when the tau+ -->…
Using a sample of 3.08 million psi(2S) decays collected at sqrt{s} = 3.686 GeV with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured the branching fractions for psi(2S) decays to pseudoscalar pairs pi+pi-, K+K-, and…
The LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. We show that this measurement can be plausibly explained within the…
We examine e+e- --> Ds^-D_s^{*+} and Ds^{*-}Ds^{+} interactions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant fDs with good precision. Previously our measurements were substantially higher than the most…
We measure the inclusive branching fractions of charm mesons into three mesons with large s-anti-s content, namely the eta, eta' and phi. Data were accumulated with the CLEO-c detector. For D0 and D+ rates, we use 281/pb taken on the…
We present the first search for the semileptonic decay $D_s^+\to \pi^0 e^+\nu_e$ using a data sample of electron-positron collisions recorded with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226~GeV, corresponding to…
We search for decays of a B meson into a neutral D meson and a kaon, with the D meson decaying into K+pi-pi0. This final state can be reached through the b --> c transition B- -> D0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 -->…
We present preliminary results of several analyses searching for the effects of CP violation and mixing in the decay of D0 mesons. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the D0 to pairs of light…
A difference of several tenths of a percent has been observed between the direct CP asymmetries of $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$. It has been noted recently that CP asymmetries in such singly-Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) decays can…
The e+e- annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B^0 decays to Ds^(*)+ and D^*-$ mesons. The production fraction of inclusive Ds^(*)+ and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive…
