Abstract

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the three-body final state interactions in the B+DDˉK+B^+\to D\bar{D}K^+ process, whose phase space is sufficient small. To precisely extract the resonance parameters, for instance the χc0/2(3930)\chi_{c0/2}(3930) in the DDˉD\bar{D} invariant mass distributions, in this process, one has to take into account final state interaction, especially the three-body final state interaction. We employ the dispersive Khuri-Treiman formalism, combined with a parameterization of the DDˉD\bar{D} interaction based on Heavy Quark Spin Symmetry. By performing a simultaneous fit to the experimental data from LHCb, BaBar, and Belle collaborations, the scheme with three-body interaction successfully describes the invariant mass distributions of the three two-body subsystems. We precisely extract the pole structures of χc0(3930)\chi_{c0}(3930) and ψ(3770)\psi(3770) as 3.9130.018i GeV3.913-0.018i~\mathrm{GeV} and 3.7640.002i GeV3.764-0.002i~\mathrm{GeV} in B+B^+ decay. By performing the pole trajectory analysis on a uniformized complex plane, we find that both of them stem from the input bare state.
