# Dalitz plot analysis of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^- \pi^+$ decays

LHCb Collaboration; Bernet, R; Müller, K; Steinkamp, O; Straumann, U; Vollhardt, A; et al (2014). Dalitz plot analysis of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^- \pi^+$ decays. Physical Review D (Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology), 90:072003.

## Abstract

The resonant substructure of $B_s^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^- \pi^+$ decays is studied with the Dalitz plot analysis technique. The study is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by LHCb. A structure at $m(\bar{D}^0 K^-) \approx 2.86 {\rm GeV}/c^2$ is found to be an admixture of spin-1 and spin-3 resonances. The masses and widths of these states and of the $D^*_{s2}(2573)^-$ meson are measured, as are the complex amplitudes and fit fractions for all the $\bar{D}^0 K^-$ and $K^-\pi^+$ components included in the amplitude model. In addition, the $D^*_{s2}(2573)^-$ resonance is confirmed to be spin-2.
