Fit for Signal YieldFit for Signal Yield

• Signal events are modeled by the sum of 3 Gaussian functions. The means and ’s of the Gaussians are allowed to vary. • Combinatorial backgrounds are modeled by linear functions. • The shape of K-+0 reflection events in the sidebands of -+0 and K-K+0 is obtained from MC as described on the next slide.

Strong Phase Difference & Amplitude Strong Phase Difference & Amplitude Ratio Ratio

The strong phase difference δD and relative amplitude rD between the decays D0K*-K+ and D0K*+K- are defined, neglecting direct CP violation in D0 decays, by the equation:

rD eiδD = [aK*-K+/ aK*+K-] exp[ i(δK*-K+ - δK*-K+) ]

We find                   δD = -37.9o ± 2.2o (stat) ± 0.7o (exp sys) ± 4.2o (model sys)                   rD = 0.64 ± 0.01 (stat) ± 0.01 (exp sys) ± 0.01 (model sys).

The decay Ds++ is frequently used as the Ds

+ reference decay mode for measurement of branching ratios.

The previous analysis (E687) of this Dalitz plot was performed with ~ 700 events (vs. 105 events in our case).

Using Dalitz plot results, we make a precise measurement of the branching ratios of the decays Ds

++ and Ds+K*(892)0 K+

integrated over the whole phase space.

Kπ S-wave amplitude is described by the coherent sum of an effective range term and the K*0(1430) resonance:

S(s) = (√s/ p). sin . ei

= cot-1 [ 1/ap + rp/2 ] + cot -1 [ (m2R-s)/(mR R ) ]

Effective Range (NR) term K*0(1430) resonance term

a = scat. length, r = eff. range, mR = mass of K*0(1430), R= width p = momentum of either daughter in the Kπ rest frame.

For Kπ scattering, S-wave is elastic up to K' threshold (1.45 GeV).

With cross-feeds or in the presence of D-waves, higher

moments ≠ 0 . Wrong fit models tend to give rise to higher moments

in the region, creating disagreement with data.
