Abstract
Model-independent description of nonleptonic decays of charmed mesons is a challenging task due to large nonperturbative effects of strong interactions on the transition amplitudes. We discuss the equivalence of two different flavor-SU(3)-based descriptions of Cabibbo-favored non-leptonic decays of charmed mesons to two-pseudoscalars final states including the η and η′ mesons.
We investigate the nonleptonic decay of charmed meson into two pseudoscalar mesons using the vector-dominance model, and compare the results with those obtained from the factorization model. In particular, we discuss the role of the annihilation diagrams in the two models.
