The role of the $f_0(1710)$ and $a_0(1710)$ resonances in the $D^0 \to ρ^0 ϕ$, $ωϕ$ decays
Abstract
We study the $D^0 \to ρ^0 ϕ$, $ωϕ$ decays which proceed in a direct mode via internal emission with equal rates. Yet, the experimental branching ratio for the $ρ^0 ϕ$ mode is twice as big as that for the $ωϕ$ mode. We find a natural explanation based on the extra indirect mechanism where $K^{*+} K^{*-}$ is produced via external emission and that channel undergoes final state interaction with other vector--vector channels to lead to the $ρ^0 ϕ$, $ωϕ$ final states, with transition amplitudes dominated by the $a_0(1710)$ resonance, recently discovered, and $f_0(1710)$ respectively. The large coupling of the $a_0(1710)$ to the $ρ^0 ϕ$ channel is mostly responsible for this large ratio of the production rates.
