Abstract

We have measured the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of D0, D⁺, and Ds+ mesons. For these measurements, we have used the full CLEO-c open-charm data samples, 818pb^-1 at ECM=3.774GeV, giving D0D^̄0 and D⁺D^- events, and 602pb ^-1 at ECM=4.170GeV, giving Ds*±Ds" events. We obtain B(D0→Xe⁺νe)=(6.46±0.09±0.11)%, B(D ⁺→Xe⁺νe)=(16.13±0.10±0.29)%, and B(Ds+→Xe⁺νe)=(6.52±0.39±0.15)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. From these and lifetimes obtained elsewhere, we obtain the ratios of semileptonic decay widths Γ(D⁺→Xe⁺νe)/Γ(D0→Xe ⁺νe)=0.985±0.015±0.024 and Γ(Ds+→Xe ⁺νe)/Γ(D0→Xe⁺νe)=0.828±0. 051±0.025. The ratio of D⁺ and D0 is consistent with the isospin symmetry prediction of unity, and the ratio of Ds+ and D0 differs from unity, as expected.
