The results presented in this dissertation are based on Fermilab MPS experiment E580. This experiment was designed to study states which decay into two neutral strange particles. Copious K*('(+OR-)) production was observed in the K(,s)('0) K(,s)('0) + X data sample. Evidence for narrow resonances at 1.87 GeV/c('2) was clearly seen in both K(,s)('0) K*('+) and K(,s)('0) K*('-) mass spectra. These signals were interpreted as Cabibbo suppressed decay modes of D('(+OR-)) mesons. This is the first observation of this particular decay mode. The measured D('(+OR-)) decay ratio of (K(,s)('0) K*('(+OR-))) / (K(,s)('0) K(,s)('0) PI('(+OR-))) is (0.78 (+OR-) 0.06). The x(,F) distributions for the D('-) from both Cabibbo suppressed and Cabibbo favored (K(,s)('0) 3PI) modes exhibit definite forward production. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-04, Section: B, page: 1212. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
