Amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of the decay D-s(+) -> pi(+)pi(0)pi(0)

Abstract

Using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32fb(-1) recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV, an amplitude analysis of the decay D-s(+) -> pi(+)pi(0)pi(0 ) is performed, and the relative fractions and phases of different intermediate processes are determined. The absolute branching fraction of the decay D-s(+) -> pi(+)pi(0)pi(0)is measured to be (0.50 +/- 0.04(stat) 0.02(syst) )%. The absolute branching fraction of the intermediate process D-s(+) -> f(0)(980)pi(+), f(0)(980) ->pi(0)pi(0 ), is determined to be (0.28 +/- 0.04(stat) +/- 0.04(syst))%.
