Abstract

We study the decay B+→K+K−π+ and investigate the angular distribution of K+K− pairs with invariant mass below 1.1 GeV/c2. This region exhibits both a strong enhancement in signal and very large direct CP violation. We construct a coherent sum model for the angular distribution of S- and P-wave, and report the ratio of their amplitudes, the relative phase and the forward-backward asymmetry. We also report absolute differential branching fractions and direct CP asymmetry for the decay in bins of MK+K− and the differential branching fractions in bins of MK+π−. The results are based on a data sample that contains 772×10^6 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. The measured overall branching fraction and the direct CP asymmetry are (5.38±0.40±0.35)×10^−6 and −0.170±0.073±0.017, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
