Abstract

We study the appearance of structures in the decay of the BB^- into KπDs0+(2317)K^- \pi^- D_{s0}^+(2317) and KπDs1+(2460)K^- \pi^- D_{s1}^+(2460) final states by forming invariant mass distributions of πDs0+\pi^- D_{s0}^+ and πDs1+\pi^- D_{s1}^+ pairs, respectively. The structure in the distribution is associated to the kinematical triangle singularity that appears when the BKK0D0B^- \to K^- K^{*\,0} D^0 (BKK0D0B^- \to K^- K^{*\,0} D^{*\,0}) decay process is followed by the decay of the K0K^{*\,0} into πK+\pi^- K^+ and the subsequent rescattering of the K+D0K^+ D^0 (K+D0K^+ D^{*\,0}) pair forming the Ds0+(2317)D_{s0}^+(2317) (Ds1+(2460)D_{s1}^+(2460)) resonance. We find this type of non-resonant peaks at 2850 MeV in the invariant mass of πDs0\pi^- D_{s0} pairs from BKπDs0+(2317)B^- \to K^- \pi^- D_{s0}^+(2317) decays and around 3000 MeV in the invariant mass of πDs1+\pi^- D_{s1}^+ pairs from BKπDs1+(2460)B^- \to K^- \pi^- D_{s1}^+(2460) decays. By employing the measured branching ratios of the BKK0D0B^- \to K^- K^{*\,0} D^0 and BKK0D0B^- \to K^- K^{*\,0} D^{*\,0} decays, we predict the branching ratios for the processes BB^- into KπDs0+(2317)K^- \pi^-D_{s0}^+(2317) and KπDs1+(2460)K^- \pi^- D_{s1}^+(2460), in the vicinity of the triangle singularity peak, to be about 8×1068\times10^{-6} and 1×1061\times 10^{-6}, respectively. The observation of this reaction would also give extra support to the molecular picture of the Ds0+(2317)D_{s0}^+(2317) and Ds1+(2460)D_{s1}^+(2460).
