Description

The branching fractions of the decays $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+$, $D^+ \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$, and $D_s \to K^- K^+ \pi^+$ normalize many measurements of processes involving charm quarks. In addition hadronic $D$ decays probe the interaction of short-distance weak processes and long-distance QCD effects. We report results on three $D^0$, six $D^+$, and thirteen $D_s$ branching fractions obtained using the full CLEO-c datasets of 818 pb$^{-1}$ at 3.77 GeV and 586 pb^${-1}$ at 4.17 GeV.
