Abstract
We study -wave resonance contributions to the and decays in the perturbative QCD framework by introducing two-hadron distribution amplitudes for final states. The Breit–Wigner formula for the , , and resonances and the Flatté model for the resonance are adopted to parametrize the timelike scalar form factors in the two-pion distribution amplitudes, which include both resonant and nonresonant contributions. The resultant branching fraction and differential branching fraction in the pion-pair invariant mass for each resonance channel are consistent with experimental data. The determined -wave two-pion distribution amplitudes, containing the information of both resonant and nonresonant rescattering phases, can be employed to predict direct asymmetries of other three-body hadronic meson decays in various localized regions of two-pion phase space.
