Three-body final state interactions in $B^+\to D\bar{D}K^+$ decays
Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis of the three-body final state interactions in the process, whose phase space is sufficient small. To precisely extract the resonance parameters, for instance the in the 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 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 and as and in decay. By performing the pole trajectory analysis on a uniformized complex plane, we find that both of them stem from the input bare state.
