Abstract

We report precise measurements of the D⁰ and D⁺ meson lifetimes by the E687 Collaboration at Fermilab. The measurements have been made using 16000 fully reconstructed decays of the D⁰ into the K^-π⁺ and K^-π⁺π^-π⁺ final states and 9000 decays of the D⁺ into the K^-π⁺π⁺ final state. The lifetimes of the D⁰ and D⁺ mesons are measured to be 0.413±0.004±0.003 ps and 1.048±0.015±01011 ps respectively.
