S-wave and P-wave pion-pion and kaon-pion contributions to three-body decay processes in the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion

Abstract

We study S- and P-wave pion-pion and kaon-pion distributions for the three-body production processes $J/\psi\to\omega\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $D^{+}\to K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}$, $D^{+}\to K^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, and $D^{+}_{s}\to K^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, by applying the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion to the two-body subamplitudes. The results are compared to the corresponding signals reported by the BES, E791 and FOCUS collaborations. We find that the studied S- and P-wave channels can largely account for the observed structures in the data up to 1 GeV.
