D MESON HADRONIC DECAYS AT CLEO-c

Abstract

The recent CLEO-c results on hadronic decays of D and Ds mesons are presented. First the absolute branching fractions for D and Ds mesons using a double tag technique are discussed, then are the Cabibbo suppressed decays and doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays. Finally, I present the inclusive and rare decay modes and other measurements from CLEO-c. These decays illuminate a wide range of physics. A brief theoretical introduction is given before the corresponding discussion on measurement.
