arXiv:1704.07566 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.036014

Abstract

In this work, we calculate the -averaged branching ratios and direct -violating asymmetries of the quasi-two-body decays by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach, where is a light pseudoscalar meson and . The considered decay modes are studied in the quasi-two-body framework by parameterizing the two-pion distribution amplitude . The -wave time-like form factor in the resonant regions associated with the and is estimated based on available experimental data. The PQCD predictions for the -averaged branching ratios of the decays are in the order of . The branching ratios of the two-body decays are extracted from the corresponding quasi-two-body decay modes. The whole pattern of the pion form factor-squared measured by {\it BABAR} Collaboration could also be understood based on our studies. Our PQCD predictions will be tested by the precise data from the LHCb and the future Belle II experiments.
