Abstract

We report a measurement of the relative branching ratio of two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes: D0 → pi−pi+ and D0 → K−K+. The data were accumulated in the 1990–1991 fixed target run of Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The branching ratios of these modes relative to the Cabibbo-allowed decay D0 → K−pi+ are also presented. The relative branching ratios are measured to be G(D0 → KK)/G(D0 → pi pi) = 2.53 +- 0.46 +- 0.19, G(D0 → KK)/G(D0 → Kpi) = 0.109 +- 0.007 +- 0.009, and Γ(D0 → pi pi)/Γ(D0 → K pi) = 0.043 +- 0.007 +- 0.003.
