We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…
From Dalitz-plot analyses of $D^+\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ and $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays, we find evidence for light and broad scalar resonances sigma(500) and kappa(800). From a Dalitz-plot analysis of $D^+_s\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays, we…
A D0 meson can decay to K+ pi- through doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay or via D0-D0bar mixing. With 46.2 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity collected by Belle, we have measured the time integrated rate of the wrong-sign process D0 -> K+ pi-…

We calculate the time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates of $(D^0\bar{D}^0)\rightarrow (K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})(l^{\pm}X^{\mp})$ at the $\psi(3.77)$ and $\psi(4.14)$ resonances. The possibilities to distinguish between the effects of…
Both Cabibbo allowed and doubly forbidden transitions contribute coherently to $D\rightarrow K_{S,L}+\pi 's$ decays. This leads to several intriguing and even quantitatively significant consequences, among them: (i) A difference between…
