Fit for Signal YieldFit for Signal Yield
• Signal events are modeled by the sum of 3 Gaussian functions. The means and ’s of the Gaussians are allowed to vary. • Combinatorial backgrounds are modeled by linear functions. • The shape of K-+0 reflection events in the sidebands of -+0 and K-K+0 is obtained from MC as described on the next slide.

Strong Phase Difference & Amplitude Strong Phase Difference & Amplitude Ratio Ratio
The strong phase difference δD and relative amplitude rD between the decays D0K*-K+ and D0K*+K- are defined, neglecting direct CP violation in D0 decays, by the equation:
rD eiδD = [aK*-K+/ aK*+K-] exp[ i(δK*-K+ - δK*-K+) ]
We find δD = -37.9o ± 2.2o (stat) ± 0.7o (exp sys) ± 4.2o (model sys) rD = 0.64 ± 0.01 (stat) ± 0.01 (exp sys) ± 0.01 (model sys).

Kπ S-wave amplitude is described by the coherent sum of an effective range term and the K*0(1430) resonance:
S(s) = (√s/ p). sin . ei
= cot-1 [ 1/ap + rp/2 ] + cot -1 [ (m2R-s)/(mR R ) ]
Effective Range (NR) term K*0(1430) resonance term
a = scat. length, r = eff. range, mR = mass of K*0(1430), R= width p = momentum of either daughter in the Kπ rest frame.
For Kπ scattering, S-wave is elastic up to K' threshold (1.45 GeV).

Divide m2(K-+) into slices
Find s–wave amplitude in each slice (two parameters) Use remainder of Dalitz plot as an interferometer
For s-wave:
- Interpolate between (ck,k).

With cross-feeds or in the presence of D-waves, higher
moments ≠ 0 . Wrong fit models tend to give rise to higher moments
in the region, creating disagreement with data.
For S- and P- waves in absence of cross-feeds from
other channels:
