Resumo:
This thesis is devoted to the study of the decay D+ KS(pi)− (pi)+(pi)+ with data collected from the FOCUS experiment, at Fermilab. The final state composed of 4 pseudo-scalars can be produced through a number of resonant sub-structures. The purpose of this analysis is to find the contributing intermediate states by measuring their relative strenghts and phases. For that, the Amplitude Analysis formalism is used, with the so-called Isobar Model. The decay dynamics is described through a function which has the features of the contributing channels (functional forms of the resonances, angular distribution, etc) and which domain is a phase space determined by 5 invariants (due to the kinematical constraints of a 4- body spinless decay). The data sample is thus fitted to this function. Our results show a dominant contribution of the axial- vector meson a1(1260) (52%), followed by the K1(1400) axial-vector (34%). Moreover, the model presents a contribution from the sigma meson (about 8% as a1(sigmapi)KS and sigmaKSpi) and a significant contribution from the scalar k−. The k state has been reported in its neutral mode in other charm decays but not is its charged mode. We find no significant contribution from the direct 4-body decay (non-resonant). This work adds to the effort in the understanding of the strong-interaction dynamics at low energies, which in recent years have been receiving an important contribution from charm meson physics.
