arXiv:1807.02641 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.98.056019

Abstract

In this work, we calculate the -averaged branching ratios and direct -violating asymmetries of the quasi-two-body decays with the two-pion distribution amplitude by using the perturbative QCD factorization approach, where represents a light pseudoscalar meson and . The relativistic Breit-Wigner formula for the -wave resonance is adopted to parameterize the timelike form factor , which contains the final state interactions between the pions in the resonant regions. The consistency of theoretical results with data can be achieved by determining the Gegenbauer moments of the -wave two-pion distribution amplitudes. The decay rates for the considered decay modes are generally in the order of to . The integrated direct asymmetries for the charged modes agree with the {\it BABAR} and Belle measurements. As a by-product, we extract the branching ratios of from the corresponding quasi-two-body decay modes, which still need experimental tests at the ongoing and forthcoming experiments.
