Abstract

The results of an amplitude analysis of the charmless three-body decay $B^+ \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, in which $C P$-violation effects are taken into account, are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 \text{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. The most challenging aspect of the analysis is the description of the behaviour of the $\pi^+ \pi^-$ S-wave contribution, which is achieved by using three complementary approaches based on the isobar model, the K-matrix formalism, and a quasi-model-independent procedure. Additional resonant contributions for all three methods are described using a common isobar model, and include the $\rho(770)^0$, $\omega(782)$ and $\rho(1450)^0$ resonances in the $\pi^+\pi^-$ P-wave, the $f_2(1270)$ resonance in the $\pi^+\pi^-$ D-wave, and the $\rho_3(1690)^0$ resonance in the $\pi^+\pi^-$ F-wave. Significant $C P$-violation effects are observed in both S- and D-waves, as well as in the interference between the S- and P-waves. The results from all three approaches agree and provide new insight into the dynamics and the origin of $C P$-violation effects in $B^+ \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$ decays.

The (top) isobar, (middle) K-matrix and (bottom) QMI S-wave results where (a), (c) and (e) show the magnitude squared while (b), (d) and (f) show the phase motion. Discontinuities in the phase motion are due to presentation in the range $[-180^\circ,180^\circ]$. Red curves indicate $ B ^+ $ while blue curves represent $ B ^- $ decays, with the statistical and total uncertainties bounded by the dark and light bands, respectively (incorporating only the dominant systematic uncertainties). Note that the overall scale of the squared magnitude contains no physical meaning, but is simply a manifestation of the different scale factors and conventions adopted by each of the three amplitude analysis approaches.

Comparison of results for the $ C P$ -averaged S-wave obtained in the three different approaches, where (a) shows the magnitude squared while (b) shows the phase motion. Discontinuities in the phase motion are due to presentation in the range $[-180^\circ,180^\circ]$. The blue curve indicates the isobar S-wave, the amber curve indicates the K-matrix S-wave, and the green points with error bars represent the QMI S-wave. The band or error bars in each case represent the total uncertainty, incorporating the dominant systematic uncertainties. As the integral of the $|A|^2$ plot in each approach is proportional to its respective S-wave fit fraction, the overall scale of the K-matrix and QMI plots are set relative to the isobar S-wave fit fraction in order to facilitate comparison between the three approaches.

Cartesian coefficients, $c_j$, for the components of the K-matrix model fit. For the K-matrix model, the $\beta_{\alpha}$ and $f^{\rm prod}_{v}$ parameters describe the relative contributions of the production pole $\alpha$ and production slowly varying part corresponding to channel $v$, respectively. In the absence of $ C P$ violation, $\delta x = \delta y = 0$.

Phase comparison in degrees for (top) $ B ^+ $ and (bottom) $ B ^- $ between the three S-wave approaches where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third from the model. Note that the phase of the $\rho(770)^0$ component of the $\rho$--$\omega$ lineshape is fixed to zero as it is selected to be the reference contribution.
