Abstract

We report a measurement of the ${D}^{0}$ and ${D}^{+}$ lifetimes using ${D}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ and ${D}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decays reconstructed in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}c\overline{c}$ data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider. The data, collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}(4S)$ resonance, correspond to an integrated luminosity of $72\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The results, $\ensuremath{\tau}({D}^{0})=410.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.1(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.8(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{fs}$ and $\ensuremath{\tau}({D}^{+})=1030.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}4.7(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.1(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{fs}$, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.
