Nonleptonic Two-Body Decays of D Mesons in Broken SU(3)

Abstract

Decays of the D mesons to two pseudoscalars, to two vectors, and to pseudoscalar plus vector are discussed in the context of broken flavor SU(3). A few assumptions are used to reduce the number of parameters. Amplitudes are fit to the available data, and predictions of branching ratios for unmeasured modes are made.
