Spectator Model in D Decays

H. Mehrban1

Abstract. In this research, the e ective Hamiltonian theory is described and applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1;2) and QCD penguin (Q3; ;6) decay rates. The channels of decay in the quark levels are: c ! dud, c ! dus, c ! sud and c ! sus where the channel c ! sud is dominant. The total decay rates of the hadronic of in the e ective Hamiltonian theory are calculated. The decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator (SQM) are investigated for the calculation of D meson decays. It is intended to make the transition from decay rates at the quark level to D meson decay rates for two body hadronic decays, D ! h1h2. By means of that, the modes of nonleptonic D ! PV , D ! PP , D ! VV decays where V and P are light vector with J P = 0 and pseudoscalar with J P = 1 are analyzed, respectively. So, the total decay rates of the hadronic of charm quark in the e ective Hamiltonian theory, according to Colour Favoured (C-F) and Colour Suppressed (C-S) are obtained. Then the amplitude of the Colour Favoured and Colour Suppressed (F-S) processes are added and their decay rates are obtained. Using the spectator model, the branching ratio of some D meson decays are derived as well.

A well known example is the HAMILTONIAN THEORY four-Fermi interaction, where the W - propagator 2 2 is made local for MW >> q (q denotes the momentum As a weak decay in the presence of , transfer through the W ): D meson decays require special techniques. The main tool to calculate such D meson decays is the e ective i(g )=(q2 M 2 ) ! ig [(1=M 2 ) Hamiltonian theory.
