abstract
The absolute branching fraction of $D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ has been directly measured by an analysis of a data sample of about 33 ${\rm pb^{-1}}$ collected around $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BES-II at the BEPC. At these energies, $D^-$ meson is produced in pair as $e^+e^-\to D^{+} D^{-}$. A total of $5321 \pm 149 \pm 160$ $D^-$ mesons are reconstructed from this data set. In the recoil side of the tagged $D^-$ mesons, $2.67\pm1.74$ purely leptonic decay events of $D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are observed. This yields a branching fraction of $BF(D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}) = (0.122^{+0.111}_{-0.053}\pm 0.010)%$, and a corresponding pseudoscalar decay constant $f_{D^+}=(371^{+129}_{-119}\pm 25)$ MeV.

Prospective analysis of CKM element $|V_{cd}|$ and $D^+$-meson decay constant from leptonic decays $D^+ \to \ell^+ \nu$
A QCD sum rule calculation with dimension-six condensates gives f_D+ = 203.0 ± 1.5 MeV and, with BESIII data, |Vcd| = 0.227 +0.002 -0.001.
