D Hadronic Branching Fraction analysis This analysis uses all CLEO-c ψ(3770) data (818 pb 1 ). Measurement of D hadronic branching fractions sets absolute branching fraction scale for most D and B decays. We measure 3 neutral and 6 charged D decay modes, including the two reference modes D 0 K π + and D + K π + π +. D 0 K π + D 0 K π + π 0 D 0 K π + π π + D + K π + π + D + K π + π + π 0 D + K 0 Sπ +, K 0 S π + π D + K 0 Sπ + π 0, K 0 S π + π D + K 0 Sπ + π + π, K 0 S π + π D + K + K π + Published results with 56 pb 1 [PRL 95, 121801(2005)] and with 281 pb 1 [PRD 76, 112001 (2007)].

Summary Measured the absolute D hadronic branching fractions using full CLEO-c 818 pb 1 ψ(3770) data. Updated background study and major systematics uncertainties. Preliminary results are consistent with the previous measurement. CLEO finished data taking in 2008. Looking forward to see the results from BESIII.
