Resumo

Using the ARGUS detector at DORIS II, we have observed a signal of 36.7±8.0 events in the decay channel D0→Ks0φ. In the same data sample, we have observed the well established decay D0→Ks0π+π−, and find the ratio, Br(D)0→Ks0φ)Br(D)0→Ks0π+π−), to be 0.186±0.052. The substantial value of (0.99±0.32±0.17)% then derived for the branching ratio for D0→K0φ gives direct evidence that W exchange contributes D0 decay.
