Abstract

We study the resonant contributions in the process with the invariant mass square . Width effects of the involved strange mesons, and , are incorporated. In terms of the helicity amplitudes, we derive a compact form for the full angular distributions, through which the branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetries and polarizations are attained. We propose that the uncertainties in the form factors can be pinned down by the measurements of a set of SU(3)-related processes. Using results from the large energy limit, we derive the dependence of branching fractions on the , and find that the resonance has a clear signature, in particular, in the transverse polarizations.
