Abstract

Using data collected by the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we report the discovery of the decay modes D⁰→K^-π ⁺π⁺π⁺π^-π^- and D⁰→π⁺π⁺π⁺π ^-π^-π^-. With a sample of 48±10 reconstructed D⁰→K^-π⁺π ⁺π⁺π^-π^- decays and 149±17 reconstructed D⁰→π⁺π ⁺π⁺π^-π^-π^- decays, we measure the following relative branching ratios: Γ(D ⁰→K^-π⁺π⁺π ⁺π^-π^-)/Γ(D⁰→K ^-π⁺π⁺π^-)=(2.70±0. 58±0.38)×10^-3,Γ(D⁰→π ⁺π⁺π⁺π^-π ^-π^-)/Γ(D⁰→K^-π ⁺π⁺π^-)=(5.23±0.59±1.35) ×10^-3,Γ(D⁰→π⁺π ⁺π⁺π^-π^-π^-)/ Γ(D⁰→K^-π⁺π ⁺π⁺π^-π^-)=1.93±0. 47±0.48. The first errors are statistical and the second are systematic. The branching fraction of the Cabibbo suppressed six-body decay mode is measured to be a factor of two higher than the branching fraction of the Cabibbo favored six-body decay mode.
