Amplitude analysis of $D^{0} \rightarrow π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ decays using CLEO-c data

Abstract

The resonant substructure of the decay $D^{0} \rightarrow π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ is studied by performing a full five-dimensional amplitude analysis. Preliminary results based on data collected by the CLEO-c detector are presented. This is the largest dataset of $D^{0} \rightarrow π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ decays analysed in this way to-date. The two most significant contributions are $D^{0} \rightarrow a_{1}(1260)^{+} π^{-}$ and $D^{0} \rightarrow ρ(770)^{0}ρ(770)^{0}$. The line shape, mass and width of the $a_{1}(1260)$ resonance are determined, and model-independent studies of the line shapes of several resonant contributions are preformed.
