We report the results of a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays D+ → K+K−K+ and D+ → phi K+, and the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays Ds+ → K+K−K+ and Ds+ → phi K+. Our measurements are all consistent with zero branching ratio, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the relative D+ branching ratios: BR(phi K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.021, BR(K+K-K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.025, and BR(K+K-K+)/BR(K-pi+pi+) < 0.0016, and the relative Ds+ branching ratios: BR(phi K+) / BR(phi pi+) < 0.013 and BR(K+K-K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.016. The data were accumulated by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.

Abstract
We report the results of a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays D+ → K+K−K+ and D+ → phi K+, and the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays Ds+ → K+K−K+ and Ds+ → phi K+. Our measurements are all consistent with zero branching ratio, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the relative D+ branching ratios: BR(phi K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.021, BR(K+K-K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.025, and BR(K+K-K+)/BR(K-pi+pi+) < 0.0016, and the relative Ds+ branching ratios: BR(phi K+) / BR(phi pi+) < 0.013 and BR(K+K-K+)/BR(phi pi+) < 0.016. The data were accumulated by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.
