Search for the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D0→ K+π-η′ and D+→ K+π0η′
Abstract
We present the first search for the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D0→ K+π-η′ and D+→ K+π0η′ using an e+e- collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II (BEPCII). No significant signals are observed, and the upper limits on their decay branching fractions are set to be 3.0× 10−5 and 2.1× 10−5 at the 90% confidence level, respectively. By combining these results with the world-average branching fractions of the corresponding Cabibbo-favored decays, upper limits at the 90% confidence level are obtained on the ratios of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored branching fractions. The limits are determined to be 1.6× tan4θC and 3.7× tan4θC for D0→ K+π-η′ and D+→ K+π0η′, respectively, where θC denotes the Cabibbo mixing angle.
