We report a study of the suppressed decay B^- -> DK^-, D -> K^+pi^-pi^0, where D denotes either a D^0 or a bar{D}^0 meson. The decay is sensitive to the CP-violating parameter phi_3. Using a data sample of 772 x 10^6 Bbar{B} pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector, we measure the ratio of branching fractions of the above suppressed decay to the favored decay B^- -> DK^-, D -> K^-pi^+pi^0. Our result is R_{DK} = [1.98 +/- 0.62(stat.) +/- 0.24(syst.)] x 10^{-2}, which indicates the first evidence of the signal for this suppressed decay with a significance of 3.2 standard deviations. We measure the direct CP asymmetry between the suppressed B^- and B^+ decays to be A_{DK} = 0.41 +/- 0.30 (stat.) +/- 0.05 (syst.). We also report measurements for the analogous quantities R_{Dpi} and A_{Dpi} for the decay B^- -> Dpi^-, D -> K^+pi^-pi^0.

The suppressed decay chain B- -> DK-, D -> K+pi-, where D indicates a anti-D0 or D0 state, provides important information on the CP-violating angle phi_3. We measure the ratio R_{DK} of the decay rates to the favored mode B- -> DK-, D -> K-pi+ to be R_{DK} = [1.63^{+0.44}_{-0.41}(stat)^{+0.07}_{-0.13}(syst)] x 10^{-2}, which indicates the first evidence of the signal with a significance of 4.1sigma. We also measure the asymmetry A_{DK} between the charge-conjugate decays to be A_{DK} = -0.39^{+0.26}_{-0.28}(stat)^{+0.04}_{-0.03}(syst). The results are based on the full 772 x 10^6 B anti-B pair data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector.
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 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 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.
A search is made for the highly-suppressed B meson decays $B^{+}rightarrow K^{+}K^{+}pi^{-}$ and $B^{+}rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{+}K^{-}$ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 $fb^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. No evidence is found for the decays, and upper limits at 90% confidence level are determined to be $mathcal{B}(B^{+}rightarrow K^{+}K^{+}pi^{-}) < 1.1times 10^{-8}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^{+}rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{+}K^{-}) < 4.6times 10^{-8}$.
