Abstract
We present the results of the first Dalitz plot analysis of the decay . The analysis is performed on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected by the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy KEKB collider. The Dalitz plot is well described by a combination of the six resonant decay channels , , , , and , together with and S-wave components. The decays and are observed for the first time. We measure ratio of the branching fractions, . Using the Dalitz fit result, the ratio is measured to be ; this is much lower than the theoretical expectations () made under the assumption that is a pure state. The product branching fraction is determined. In addition, the contribution to the resonance shape is confirmed with statistical significance using the three-channel Flatté model. We also measure . This is consistent with, and more precise than, the current world average , deviates with a significance of more than from the theoretical predictions of (0.51–0.92)%.
