ALTERNATIVE PARAMETRIZATIONS OF ${{\mathit K}^{\pm}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{\pm}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ DALITZ PLOT

The following functional form for the matrix element suggested by ${{\mathit \pi}}{{\mathit \pi}}$ rescattering in ${{\mathit K}^{+}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$``${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$''$\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ is used for this fit (CABIBBO 2004A, CABIBBO 2005): Matrix element = ${{\mathit M}_{{{0}}}}$ + ${{\mathit M}_{{{1}}}}$ where ${{\mathit M}_{{{0}}}}$ = 1 + (1/2)${\mathit g}_{0}{{\mathit u}}$ + (1/2) ${{\mathit h}^{\,'}}{{\mathit u}^{2}}$ + (1/2)${{\mathit k}_{{{0}}}}{{\mathit v}^{2}}$ with ${{\mathit u}}$ = (${{\mathit s}_{{{3}}}}\text{-}{{\mathit s}_{{{0}}}})/({\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}){}^{2}$, ${{\mathit v}}$ = (${{\mathit s}_{{{2}}}}\text{-}{{\mathit s}_{{{1}}}})/({\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}){}^{2}$ and where ${{\mathit M}_{{{1}}}}$ takes into account the non-analytic piece due to pi pi rescattering amplitudes ${{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}$ and ${{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}$; The parameters ${\mathit g}_{0}$ and ${{\mathit h}^{\,'}}$ are related to the parameters ${{\mathit g}}$ and ${{\mathit h}}$ of the matrix element squared given in the previous section by the approximations ${\mathit g}_{0}$ $\sim{}{{\mathit g}^{{PDG}}}$ and ${{\mathit h}^{\,'}}\sim{}{{\mathit h}^{{PDG}}}$ $−$ (g/2)${}^{2}$ and ${{\mathit k}_{{{0}}}}$ $\sim{}{{\mathit k}^{{PDG}}}$.
In addition, we also consider the effective field theory framework of COLANGELO 2006A and BISSEGGER 2009 to extract $\mathit g{}^{}_{BB}$ and ${{\mathit h}_{{{BB}}}^{\,'}}$.

1  This fit is obtained with the CABIBBO 2005 matrix element in the 2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ invariant mass squared range 0.074094 $<$ ${{\mathit m}^{2}}_{2 {{\mathit \pi}^{0}}}<$ 0.104244 GeV${}^{2}$. Electromagnetic corrections and CHPT constraints for ${{\mathit \pi}}{{\mathit \pi}}$ phase shifts (${{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}$ and ${{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}$) have been used. Also measured (${{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}−$ ${{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}$) ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}$ = $0.2646$ $\pm0.0021$ $\pm0.0023$, where ${{\mathit k}_{{{0}}}}$ was kept fixed in the fit at $-0.0099$.
2  Superseded by BATLEY 2009A. This fit is obtained with the CABIBBO 2005 matrix element in the 2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ invariant mass squared range 0.074 GeV${}^{2}$ $<$ ${{\mathit m}^{2}}_{2 {{\mathit \pi}^{0}}}$ $<$ 0.097 GeV${}^{2}$, assuming $\mathit k$ = 0 (no term proportional to (${{\mathit s}_{{{2}}}}−{{\mathit s}_{{{1}}}}){}^{2}$) and excluding the kinematic region around the cusp (${{\mathit m}^{2}}_{2 {{\mathit \pi}^{0}}}$ = (2${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}){}^{2}$ $\pm0.000525$ GeV${}^{2}$). Also ${{\mathit \pi}}-{{\mathit \pi}}$ phase shifts ${{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}$ and ${{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}$ are measured: (${{\mathit a}_{{{0}}}}−{{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}){\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}$ = $0.268$ $\pm0.010$ $\pm0.004$ $\pm0.013$(external) and ${{\mathit a}_{{{2}}}}{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}}$ = $-0.041$ $\pm0.022$ $\pm0.014$.
