Amplitude Analyses of D Decay Dalitz Plots

Abstract

We describe Dalitz plots arising in studies of $D$-meson decays, and what we have learned from them in recent years. After some mention of technique and history, we focus on decay of the $D^\pm$ and $D_s^\pm$ mesons to the $K^-K^+\pi^\pm$ final state, and on $D_s^\pm$ decay to $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^\pm$. Some mention of other Dalitz plots involving $D$-meson decays is also made.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of The 5th International Workshop on Charm Physics (Charm 2012
