Updated measurements of absolute D + and D 0 hadronic branching fractions and σ(e + e⁻→DD¯) at E cm =3774 MeV
These reports present the results of the 2013 Community Summer Study of the APS Division of Particles and Fields ("Snowmass 2013") on the future program of particle physics in the U.S. Chapter 1 contains the Executive Summary and the summaries of the reports of the nine working groups.

Using a data sample of 2.59×10⁷ ψ(2S) decays obtained with the CLEO-c detector, we perform amplitude analyses of the complementary decay chains ψ(2S)→γχ c1 ; χ c1 →ηπ⁺π⁻ and ψ(2S)→γχ c1 ; χ c1 →η'π⁺π⁻. We find evidence for an exotic P-wave η'π amplitude, which, if interpreted as a resonance, would have parameters consistent with the π₁(1600) state reported in other production mechanisms. We also make the first observation of the decay a₀(980)→η'π and measure the ratio of branching fractions B(a₀(980)→η'π)/B(a₀(980)→ηπ)=0.064±0.014±0.014. The ππ spectrum produced with a recoiling η is compared to that with η' recoil.
We report the first observation of the decay D⁺→η'e⁺ν e in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D⁺→η'e⁺ν e )=(2.16±0.53±0.07)×10⁻⁴. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D⁺→ηe⁺ν e )=(11.4±0.9±0.4)×10⁻⁴, provide the first form factor measurement, and set the improved upper limit B(D⁺→Φe⁺ν e )<0.9×10⁻⁴ (90%C.L.).
