Measurement of the branching fraction for D+ -> kappa(-) pi(+) pi(+)
(AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 1994-04)Using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we have measured the ratio of branching fractions, B(D+ --> K-pi+pi+)/B(D0 --> K-pi+ = 2.35 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.16. Our recent measurement of B(D0 --> K-pi+) then ... -
