Abstract

Charged hadronic five-body decays of D+ and D+s mesons have been studied in the E687 photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. We report the first compelling evidence of the decay mode D+, D+s → π-π-π+π+π+ and the measurements of the decays D+ → K-π-π+π+π+, D+s → K-K+π-π+π+ and D+s → φπ-π+π+. An analysis of the D+ → K-π-π+π+π+ resonance structure is also presented.
