With the help of a chiral unitarity approach in coupled channels, we compute the branching fractions for scalar meson processes of the semileptonic D decays in a simple way. Using current known values of the branching fractions, we make predictions for the branching fractions of the semileptonic decay modes with other scalar and vector mesons. Furthermore, we calculate the pi(+)pi(-), pi eta, pi K, and K+K- invariant mass distributions in the semileptonic decays of D mesons, which will help us clarify the nature of the light scalar mesons.", optnote="WOS:000362089100001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2401), last updated on Thu, 22 Oct 2015 23:06:10 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.92.054038", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.02026", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.054038", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1507.02026", language="English" }
