The role of K^*_0(1430) in D->PK and τ->KPν_τdecays

Abstract

We consider the scalar form factor in the weak current matrix element <P K| j_μ|0>, P =π,η,η'. It obtains the contributions from the scalar meson resonance K^*_0(1430) and from the scalar projection of the vector meson K^*(892) resonance. We analyze decay amplitudes of the Cabibbo suppressed decays D->K P, P =π,η,η' using the factorization approach. The form factors of the relevant matrix elements are described by assuming the dominance of nearby resonances. The annihilation contribution in these decays arises from the matrix element <P K| j_μ|0>. All the required parameters are experimentally known except the scalar meson K^*_0(1430) decay constant. We fit the decay amplitudes and we find that final state interaction improves the agreement with the experimental data. Then we extract bounds on scalar form factor parameters and compare them with the experimental data obtained in the analyses of K->πeν_e and K->πμν_μ. The same scalar form factor is present in the τ-> K P ν_τdecay, with P =π,η,η'. Using the obtained bounds we investigate the significance of the scalar meson form factor in the τ-> K P ν_τ, P = π, η, η' decay rates and spectra. We find that the K^*_0(1430) scalar meson dominates in the τ-> K η'ν_τdecay spectrum.
