* * Introduction • Semileptonic decays are an excellent laboratory to study • Gold-plated modes are P P semileptonic transitions as they are the simplest modes for both theory and experiment: • Cabibbo favored : • Cabibbo suppressed : • Main goals of the analyses: • Measure efficiency-corrected absolutely-normalized decay rate distributions and form factors • Measure form factor parameters to test LQCD and model predictions • We analyze both D0 and D+ decays. By isospin invariance • . • . This is a nice cross check and adds statistics to improve statistical precision. Weak Physics QCD Physics Bo Xin

Tagged Reconstruction of Semileptonic Decays • Candidate events are selected by reconstructing a D, called a tag, in several hadronic modes • Then we reconstruct the semileptonic decay in the system recoiling from the tag. • Two key variables in the reconstruction of a tag: • Define • The absolute branching fraction is Tagging creates a single D beam of known 4-momentum Bo Xin

Summary • We have presented preliminary results for D K/ e+ branching fractions and form factors using the CLEO-c 281/pb data sample collected at the (3770). • These results obtained from the tagged and untagged analyses are consistent and are being combined (will be available soon). • Together, they represent the most precise charm semileptonic branching fraction measurements and form factors to date. • Using the unitarity of the CKM matrix we obtain the most precise values of f+(0) for D K/ e+ . • Using three flavor unquenched LQCD we have made the most precise determination of |Vcs| and |Vcd| is in good agreement with PDG.
