Coupled-channel Dalitz plot analysis of $D^+\to K^- \pi^+\pi^+$ decay
Abstract
We demonstrate that partial wave amplitudes extracted from Dalitz plot with a unitary coupled-channel model are significantly different from those obtained with an isobar model. The unitary coupled-channel model takes account of hadronic rescattering mechanisms involving all three mesons that have been missed in conventioanl isobar model analyses. The rescattering mechanisms contribute largely, and can triplicate the decay width within our analysis. These findings deliver a warning that analysis results obtained with isobar models should be looked with a caution. The determination of the CKM angle is a highly relevant problem.
