Abstract

Amplitude models are constructed to describe the resonance structure of D0 → K− π+ π+ π− and D0 → K+ π− π− π+ decays using pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1. The largest contributions to both decay amplitudes are found to come from axial resonances, with decay modes D0 → a1(1260)+ K− and D0 → K1(1270/1400)+ π− being prominent in D0 → K− π+ π+ π− and D0 → K+ π− π− π+, respectively. Precise measurements of the lineshape parameters and couplings of the a1(1260)+, K1(1270)− and K(1460)− resonances are made, and a quasi model-independent study of the K(1460)− resonance is performed. The coherence factor of the decays is calculated from the amplitude models to be R_K3π = 0.459 ± 0.010(stat) ± 0.012(syst) ± 0.020(model), which is consistent with direct measurements. These models will be useful in future measurements of the unitary-triangle angle γ and studies of charm mixing and CP violation.
