Abstract
We study the decay B+→K+K−π+ and investigate the angular distribution of K+K− pairs with invariant mass below 1.1 GeV/c2. This region exhibits both a strong enhancement in signal and very large direct CP violation. We construct a coherent sum model for the angular distribution of the S- and P-wave, and report the ratio of their amplitudes, the relative phase and the forward-backward asymmetry. We also report absolute differential branching fractions and direct CP asymmetry for the decay in bins of MK+K− and the differential branching fractions in bins of MK+π−. The results are based on a data sample that contains 772×106 BB¯ pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. The result favors the presence of S- and D-waves in low MK+K− region to the detriment of a P-wave.1 MoreReceived 24 June 2022Accepted 3 February 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.032013Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
