The branching fractions of ${D}_{s}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ meson decays serve to normalize many measurements of processes involving charm quarks. Using $586\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{pb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions recorded at a center of mass energy of 4.17 GeV, we determine absolute branching fractions for 13 ${D}_{s}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ decays in 16 reconstructed final states with a …
