Abstract
Using a data sample of e+e− collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1 collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 3.773 GeV, we search for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D0 → π0π0π0 , π0π0η, π0ηη and ηηη using the double tag method. The absolute branching fractions are measured to be Β(D0 → π0π0π0) = (2.0 ± 0.4 ± 0.3) × 10−4 , Β(D0 → π0π0η ) = (3.8 ± 1.1 ± 0.7) × 10−4 and Β(D0 → π0ηη) = (7.3 ± 1.6 ± 1.5) × 10−4 with the statistical significances of 4.8σ , 3.8σ and 5.5σ , respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. No significant signal of D0 → ηηη is found, and the upper limit on its decay branching fraction is set to be Β(D0 → ηηη ) < 1.3 × 10−4 at the 90% confidence level.
