Amplitude analysis and branching-fraction measurement of $D^{+}_{s}rightarrow K^{0}_{S}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$


Abstract in English

Using 6.32 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV,~an amplitude analysis of the $D^{+}_{s}rightarrow K^{0}_{S}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$ decays is performed for the first time to determine the intermediate-resonant contributions. The dominant component is the $D_s^+ to K^*(892)^+overline{K}^*(892)^0$ decay with a fraction of $(40.6pm2.9_{rm stat}pm4.9_{rm sys})$%. Our results of the amplitude analysis are used to obtain a more precise measurement of the branching fraction of the $D^{+}_{s}rightarrow K^{0}_{S}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$ decay, which is determined to be $(1.46pm0.05_{rm stat}pm0.05_{rm sys}$)%.
