Abstract: (arXiv)
New data on the decays of the charmed particles D0D^0, D+D^+, and DsD_s to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons PP allow the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes. Information on relative strong phases is obtained. One sees evidence for the expected interference between Cabibbo-favored and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decays in the differing patterns of D0KS,Lπ0D^0 \to K_{S,L} \pi^0 and D+KS,Lπ+D^+ \to K_{S,L} \pi^+ decays.
