Abstract

We report a high statistics study of the inclusive decay properties of the charmed D⁰ and D⁺ mesons, and the first inclusive study of the charmed D_s⁺. The data are collected at s=3.77 GeV and s=4.14 GeV with the Mark III detector at the e⁺e^- storage ring SPEAR. For each charmed meson species, the charged-particle multiplicity, the strangeness content of the final state, and the average π⁰ multiplicity are determined.
