Using a data sample corresponding to 13.7 fb^-1 collected with the CLEO II and II.V detectors, we report new branching fraction measurements for two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes of the D^+ meson: Br(D^+ to pi^+ pi^0) = (1.3 +/- 0.2) x 10^-3 and Br(D^+ to bar{K}^0 K^+) = (5.2 +/- 0.6) x 10^-3 which are significant improvements over past measurements. The errors include statistical and systematical uncertainties as well as the uncertainty in the absolute D^+ branching fraction scale. We also set the first 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode Br(D^+ to K^+ pi^0) < 4.2 x 10^-4.

Using $2.93 rm fb^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ is reported. After removing decays that contain narrow intermediate resonances, including $D^+to K^+eta$, $D^+to K^+omega$, and $D^+to K^+phi$, the branching fraction of the decay $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ is measured to be $(1.13 pm 0.08_{rm stat} pm 0.03_{rm syst})times 10^{-3}$. The ratio of branching fractions of $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ over $D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+pi^0$ is found to be $(1.81pm0.15)$%, which corresponds to $(6.28pm0.52)tan^4theta_C$, where $theta_C$ is the Cabibbo mixing angle. This ratio is significantly larger than the corresponding ratios for other doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays. The asymmetry of the branching fractions of charge-conjugated decays $D^pmto K^pmpi^pmpi^mppi^0$ is also determined, and no evidence of $CP$ violation is found. In addition, the first evidence of the $D^+to K^+omega$ decay, with a statistical significance of 3.3$sigma$, is presented and its decay branching fraction is determined to be $({5.7^{+2.5}_{-2.1}}_{rm stat}pm0.2_{rm syst})times10^{-5}$.
Using a data sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 $fb^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}= 3.773~GeV$,we search for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, $pi^{0}pi^{0}eta$, $pi^{0}etaeta$ and $etaetaeta$ using the double tag method. The absolute branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}) = (2.0 pm 0.4 pm 0.3)times 10^{-4}$, $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}eta) = (3.8 pm 1.1 pm 0.7)times 10^{-4}$ and $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}etaeta) = (7.3 pm 1.6 pm 1.5)times 10^{-4}$ with the statistical significances of $4.8sigma$, $3.8sigma$ and $5.5sigma$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. No significant signal of $D^{0}toetaetaeta$ is found, and the upper limit on its decay branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(D^{0}toetaetaeta) < 1.3 times 10^{-4}$ at the $90%$ confidence level.
Using an $e^+e^-$ annihilation data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2.93,rm fb^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ is studied with a semileptonic tag method. After removing the decays containing narrow intermediate resonances, $D^+to K^+eta$, $D^+to K^+omega$, and $D^+to K^+phi$, the branching fraction for the decay $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ is determined to be $(1.03 pm 0.12_{rm stat} pm 0.06_{rm syst})times 10^{-3}$. The ratio of the branching fraction for $D^+to K^+pi^+pi^-pi^0$ to its Cabibbo-favored counterpart $D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+pi^0$ is measured to be $ (1.65pm0.21)%$, corresponding to $(5.73pm0.73)tan^4theta_C$, where $theta_C$ is the Cabibbo mixing angle. These results are consistent with our previous measurement with hadronic tags but are significantly larger than other doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays in the charm sector.
Time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries in $D^0$ decays to the final states $K^- K^+$ and $pi^- pi^+$ are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to $3mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson. The difference in $CP$ asymmetries between the two final states is measured to be begin{align} Delta A_{CP} = A_{CP}(K^-K^+)-A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+) = (+0.14 pm 0.16mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.08mathrm{,(syst)})% . onumber end{align} A measurement of $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is obtained assuming negligible $CP$ violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured $D$ decays. It is found to be begin{align} A_{CP}(K^-K^+) = (-0.06 pm 0.15mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.10mathrm{,(syst)}) % , onumber end{align} where the correlation coefficient between $Delta A_{CP}$ and $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is $rho=0.28$. By combining these results, the $CP$ asymmetry in the $D^0rightarrowpi^-pi^+$ channel is $A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+)=(-0.20pm0.19mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.10mathrm{,(syst)})%$.
A search for time-dependent violation of the charge-parity symmetry in $D^0 to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 to pi^+ pi^-$ decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb$^{-1}$. The $D^0$ meson is required to originate from a $D^*(2010)^+ to D^0 pi^+$ decay, such that its flavour at production is identified by the charge of the accompanying pion. The slope of the time-dependent asymmetry of the decay rates of $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ mesons into the final states under consideration is measured to be $Delta Y_{K^+ K^-} = (-2.3 pm 1.5 pm 0.3) times 10^{-4}$, $Delta Y_{pi^+ pi^-} = (-4.0 pm 2.8 pm 0.4)times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are compatible with the conservation of the $CP$ symmetry at the level of 2 standard deviations and improve the precision by nearly a factor of two.
