Abstract
We systematically apply the 1/N expansion (N being the number of colours) to exclusive and inclusive charm decays and develop a diagrammatic language in which the leading contributions can be clearly identified and calculated. Keeping only the leading terms in 1/N makes the usual approach compatible with the data on exclusive decays and gives τ(D+)/τ(D0) ≈ 02 and BSL(D0) ≈ 10%. 0382 1537 V 3 We also show that the recent analysis of exclusive charm decays of Bauer and Stech can be justified to a certain extent in this approach. The possible non-leading effects are briefly discussed.
