Abstract

Using e+e- annihilation data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb-1 collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, we perform the first amplitude analysis of the decay Ds+→KS0K+π0 and determine the relative branching fractions and phases for intermediate processes. We observe an a0-like state with mass of 1.817 GeV in its decay to KS0K+ for the first time. In addition, we measure the ratio {B[Ds+→K̄∗(892)0K+]/B[Ds+→K̄0K∗(892)+]} to be 2.35-0.23stat+0.42±0.10syst. Finally, we provide a precision measurement of the absolute branching fraction B(Ds+→KS0K+π0)=(1.46±0.06stat±0.05syst)%.
