Pure annihilation type D → PP(V) decays in the perturbative QCD approach

Abstract

The annihilation type diagrams are difficult to calculate in any kind of model or method. Encouraged by the successful calculation of pure annihilation type B decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach, we calculate the pure annihilation type D → PP(V) decays in the perturbative QCD approach based on the kT factorization. Although the expansion parameter 1/mD is not very small, our leading order numerical results agree with the existing experimental data for most channels. We expect more accurate observation from experiments, which can help us learn about the dynamics of D meson weak decays.
