Using 1.8 million DDbar pairs and a neutrino reconstruction technique, we have studied the decays D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e, D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e, and D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e. We find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106).

Using a sample of 1.8 million DDbar meson pairs collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we study the semileptonic decays D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+ u_e, and D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e. For the total branching fractions we find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ u_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106), where the final error is theoretical.
We report the first observation of the decay D^+ -> eta e^+ nu_e in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D+ -> eta e nu) = (2.16 +/- 0.53 +/- 0.07) x 10^{-4}. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D+ -> eta e nu) = (11.4 +/- 0.9 +/- 0.4) x 10^{-4}, provide the first form factor measurement, and set the improved upper limit B(D+ -> phi e nu) < 0.9 x 10^{-4} (90% C.L.).
Using the entire CLEO-c psi(3770) to DDbar event sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 818 pb^-1 and approximately 5.4 x 10^6 DDbar events, we measure the form factors for the decays D0 to rho- e+ nu_e and D+ to rho0 e+ nu_e for the first time and the branching fractions with improved precision. A four-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit determines the form factor ratios to be: V(0)/A_1(0) = 1.48 +- 0.15 +- 0.05 and A_2(0)/A_1(0)= 0.83 +- 0.11 +- 0.04. Assuming CKM unitarity, the known D meson lifetimes and our measured branching fractions we obtain the form factor normalizations A_1(0), A_2(0), and V(0). We also present a measurement of the branching fraction for D^+ to omega e^+ nu_e with improved precision.
We report a study of the process $e^{+} e^{-} to (D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0} pi^0$ using $e^+e^-$ collision data samples with integrated luminosities of $1092 rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.23 rm{GeV}$ and $826 rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.26 rm{GeV}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We observe a new neutral structure near the $(D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0}$ mass threshold in the $pi^0$ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as $Z_{c}(4025)^{0}$. Assuming a Breit-Wigner line shape, its pole mass and pole width are determined to be $(4025.5^{+2.0}_{-4.7}pm3.1) rm{MeV}/c^2$ and $(23.0pm 6.0pm 1.0) rm{MeV}$, respectively. The Born cross sections of $e^{+}e^{-}to Z_{c}(4025)^{0} pi^0to (D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0}pi^0$ are measured to be $(61.6pm8.2pm9.0) rm{pb}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.23 rm{GeV}$ and $(43.4pm8.0pm5.4) rm{pb}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.26 rm{GeV}$. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
In an analysis of a 2.92~fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken at 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions to be $mathcal B(D^0 to K^-e^+ u_e)=(3.505pm 0.014 pm 0.033)%$ and $mathcal B(D^0 to pi^-e^+ u_e)=(0.295pm 0.004pm 0.003)%$. From a study of the differential decay rates we obtain the products of hadronic form factor and the magnitude of the CKM matrix element $f_{+}^K(0)|V_{cs}|=0.7172pm0.0025pm 0.0035$ and $f_{+}^{pi}(0)|V_{cd}|=0.1435pm0.0018pm 0.0009$. Combining these products with the values of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ from the SM constraint fit, we extract the hadronic form factors $f^K_+(0) = 0.7368pm0.0026pm 0.0036$ and $f^pi_+(0) = 0.6372pm0.0080pm 0.0044$, and their ratio $f_+^{pi}(0)/f_+^{K}(0)=0.8649pm 0.0112pm 0.0073$. These form factors and their ratio are used to test unquenched Lattice QCD calculations of the form factors and a light cone sum rule (LCSR) calculation of their ratio. The measured value of $f_+^{K(pi)}(0) |V_{cs(d)}|$ and the lattice QCD value for $f^{K(pi)}_+(0)$ are used to extract values of the CKM matrix elements of $|V_{cs}|=0.9601 pm 0.0033 pm 0.0047 pm 0.0239$ and $|V_{cd}|=0.2155 pm 0.0027 pm 0.0014 pm 0.0094$, where the third errors are due to the uncertainties in lattice QCD calculations of the form factors. Using the LCSR value for $f_+^pi(0)/f_+^K(0)$, we determine the ratio $|V_{cd}|/|V_{cs}|=0.238pm 0.004pm 0.002pm 0.011$, where the third error is from the uncertainty in the LCSR normalization. In addition, we measure form factor parameters for three different theoretical models that describe the weak hadronic charged currents for these two semileptonic decays. All of these measurements are the most precise to date.
