Abstract

The first amplitude analysis of the B± → π± K+ K− decay is reported based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1 of pp collisions recorded in 2011 and 2012 with the LHCb detector. The data are found to be best described by a coherent sum of five resonant structures plus a nonresonant component and a contribution from π π ↔ K K S-wave rescattering. The dominant contributions in the π± K∓ and K+ K− systems are the nonresonant and the B± → ρ(1450)0 π± amplitudes, respectively, with fit fractions around 30%. For the rescattering contribution, a sizable fit fraction is observed. This component has the largest CP asymmetry reported to date for a single amplitude of (−66 ± 4 ± 2)% , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. No significant CP violation is observed in the other contributions.
