Improved measurements of $D_s$ meson decay constant and branching fractions of $D_s^+\to K^-K^+π^+$, $\bar{K}{}^0K^+$ and $ηπ^+$ decays from Belle

Abstract: We present preliminary absolute branching fraction measurements of leptonic $D_s+$ decays to $\mu+\nu_{\mu}$ and $\tau+\nu_{\tau}$, and of hadronic $D_s+$ decays to $K-K+\pi+$, $\bar{K}{}0K+$ and $\eta\pi+$. The results are obtained from a large data sample collected near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e+e-$ collider. We obtain the the branching fractions ${\cal B}(D_s+\to\mu+\nu_{\mu})=(0.528\pm0.028\pm0.019)%$ and ${\cal B}(D_s+\to\tau+\nu_{\tau})=(5.70\pm0.21{}{+0.31}_{-0.30})%$ which are combined to determine the $D_s$ decay constant $\fds=(255.0\pm4.2\pm5.0)$ MeV, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Branching fractions of hadronic decays are measured to be ${\cal B}(D_s+\to K-K+\pi+)=(5.06 \pm 0.15\pm 0.19)%$, ${\cal B}(D_s+\to\bar{K}{}0K+)=(2.84 \pm 0.12\pm 0.08)%$ and ${\cal B}(D_s+\to\eta\pi+)=(1.79\pm0.14\pm 0.05)%$.
