Amplitude analysis of $B_s^0\to K_{\text{S}}^0{K}^{\pm }{\pi }^{\mp }$ decays

Abstract

The first untagged decay-time-integrated amplitude analysis of $B_s^0\to K_{\text{S}}^0{K}^{\pm }{\pi }^{\mp }$ decays is performed using a sample corresponding to $3.0$fb${}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb detector during 2011 and 2012. The data are described with an amplitude model that contains contributions from the intermediate resonances $K^{\ast }(892{)}^{0,+}$, $K_2^{\ast }(1430{)}^{0,+}$ and $K_0^{\ast }(1430{)}^{0,+}$, and their charge conjugates. Measurements of the branching fractions of the decay modes $B_s^0\to K^{\ast }(892{)}^{\pm }{K}^{\mp }$ and $B_s^0\to K^{\ast }(892{)}^0\overline{K}{}^0,\overline{K}{}^{\ast }(892{)}^0{K}^0$ are in agreement with, and more precise than, previous results. The decays $B_s^0\to K_0^{\ast }(1430{)}^{\pm }{K}^{\mp }$ and $B_s^0\to K_0^{\ast }(1430{)}^0\overline{K}{}^0,\overline{K}{}_0^{\ast }(1430{)}^0{K}^0$ are observed for the first time, each with significance over 10 standard deviations.
