Abstract

Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement of the branching ratio for the Cabibbo-favored decay mode D ⁰ → K^-K^-K⁺π⁺. From a sample of 143 ± 19 fully reconstructed D⁰ → K ^-K^-K⁺π⁺ events, we measure Γ(D⁰ → K^-K^-K⁺π ⁺)/Γ(D⁰ → K^-π^-π ⁺π⁺) = 0.00257 ± 0.00034(stat.) ± 0.00024(syst.). A coherent amplitude analysis has been performed to determine the resonant substructure of this decay mode. This analysis reveals a dominant contribution from φ and Kο*⁰(892) states.
