Résumé : A determination of branching ratios for D meson decays into all charged particle final states is reported. The values obtained: (D± → K∓π±π±/all D±) = (14 ± 6)% and (D0/D0 → K±π∓π+π-/all D0/D0) = (10 ± 4)%, are higher than those currently accepted. This result, if confirmed, implies a corresponding reduction in the accepted values for some total cross section measurements. Revised inclusive cross sections for D meson production in the forward hemisphere in π-p and pp interactions at 360 GeV/c, are presented. © 1984.
