Abstract

We report the results of a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays D⁺ → K⁺K^-K⁺ and D⁺ → ΦK⁺, and the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays D_s⁺ → K⁺K^-K⁺ and D_s⁺ → ΦK⁺. Our measurements are all consistent with zero branching ratio, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the relative D⁺ branching ratios: BR(ΦK⁺) BR(Φπ⁺) < 0.021, BR(K⁺K^-K⁺) BR(Φπ⁺) < 0.025 and BR(K⁺K^-K⁺) BR(K^-π⁺π⁺) < 0.0016, and the relative D_s⁺ branching ratios: BR(ΦK⁺) BR(Φπ⁺) < 0.013 and BR(K⁺K^-K⁺) BR(Φπ⁺) < 0.016. The data were accumulated by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.
