Abstract

We study the contributions of the resonant states and in the three-body decays (with ) in the perturbative QCD approach. The crucial nonperturbative input in the distribution amplitudes of the -wave system is derived from the matrix element of vacuum to pair. The averaged branching fraction of the quasi-two-body decay process is about one order smaller than that of the corresponding decay . In view of the important contribution from the -wave system for the decays, it is not appropriate to neglect the in the theoretical or experimental studies for the relevant three-body meson decays. The predictions in this work for the relevant decays are consistent with the existing experimental data.
