Abstract

Using data from Fermilab fixed-target experiment E791, we measure the branching ratio for D⁰ → K^- K⁺ π^- π⁺ and its resonant components. We find Γ(D⁰ → K^- K⁺ π^- π⁺)/Γ(D⁰ → K^- π⁺ π^- π⁺) = (3.13 ± 0.37 ± 0.36)%. A coherent amplitude analysis is used to estimate the resonant components. We measure the ratios Γ(D⁰ → f)/Γ(D⁰ → K^- π⁺ π^- π⁺) to be (2.0 ± 0.9 ± 0.8)% for f = φρ⁰, (0.9 ± 0.4 ± 0.5)% for f = φπ⁺ π^-, < 2.0% at the 90% CL for f = K * ⁰(892)K̄ _* 0(892), and < 1.0% at the 90% CL for f = K̄ * ⁰(892)K⁺ π^- or K * ⁰(892)K^- π⁺.
