Abstract: (arXiv)
We report an improved measurement of the D+KS0K+D^+ \to K_S^0 K^+ and Ds+KS0π+D^+_s\to K_S^0 \pi^+ branching ratios using 605 fb1^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+ e^- collider. The measured branching ratios with respect to the Cabibbo-favored modes are B(D+KS0K+)/B(D+KS0π+)\mathcal{B}(D^+ \to K_S^0 K^+)/\mathcal{B}(D^+ \to K_S^0 \pi^+) = 0.1899±0.0011±\pm0.0011\pm0.0022 and B(Ds+KS0π+)/B(Ds+KS0K+)\mathcal{B}(D^+_s \to K_S^0 \pi^+)/\mathcal{B}(D^+_s \to K_S^0 K^+) = 0.0803±0.0024±\pm0.0024\pm0.0019 where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
