Popis: Using data from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment E691, we have measured the branching ratio for the decay {ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital {bar K}} {sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} to be (5.0{plus minus}0.8{plus minus}0.9)%. We see no evidence for the decay {ital D}{sup 0}{r arrow}{ital {bar K}} {sup 0}{ital K0} and set a 90% confidence level upper limit of 0.12%. The large {ital {bar K}} {sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} branching ratio (relative to {ital K}{sup {minus}}{pi}{sup +}) indicates either a lack of color suppression or significant elastic final-state interactions. The upper limit on the {ital {bar K}} {sup 0}{ital K0} mode indicates that final-state interactions mix final states such as {ital K}{sup +}{ital K{minus}} or {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} into the {ital {bar K}} {sup 0}{ital K0} less than 27% of the time at the 90% confidence level.
