Effect of residual Bose-Einstein correlations on the Dalitz plot of hadronic charm meson decay

Abstract

We show that the presence of residual Bose-Einstein correlations may affect the resonant contribution of hadronic charm decays where two identical pions appear in the final state. The distortion of the phase space of the reaction would be visible in the dalitz plot. The decay D+ --> K- pi+ pi+ is discussed but results can be generalized to any decay with identical bosons.Comment: 12 pages, included 4 figures. Submitted Phys. Lett.
