New physics in singly Cabibbo-suppressed D decays
A U-spin relation among four ratios of amplitudes for $D^0 \to π^+K^-$, $K^+π^-$, $K^+K^-, π^+π^-$, including first, second and third order U-spin breaking, has been derived recently with a precision of $10^{-3}$. We study effects of new $|ΔC|=1$ operators on this relation. We find that it is not affected by U-spin scalar operators, including QCD penguin and chromomagnetic dipole operators occurring in supersymmetric and extra-dimensional models. The relation is modified by new $U=1$ operators with a sensitivity of a few percent characteristic of second order U-spin breaking. Combining this relation with CP asymmetries in $D^0\to K^+K^-, π^+π^-$ leads to a more solid constraint on $U=1$ operators than from asymmetries alone.
