Abstract

The branching fractions of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+→KK+K+, D+→ππ+K+ and Ds+→π K+K+ are measured using the decays D+→Kπ+π+ and Ds+→K K+π+ as normalisation channels. The measurements are performed using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb−1 . The results are

ℬ(D+→KK+K+)/ℬ(D+→Kπ+π+) = (6.541±0.025±0.042)×10−4,
ℬ(D+→ππ+K+)/ℬ(D+→Kπ+π+) = (5.231±0.009±0.023)×10−3,
ℬ(Ds+→πK+K+)/ℬ(Ds+→KK+π+) = (2.372±0.024±0.025)×10−3


where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These are the most precise measurements up to date.
