We present a theoretical analysis of the and
decays. We construct a general angular distribution which can include arbitrary partial waves of
. Retaining the S-wave and P-wave contributions we study the branching ratios, forward–backward asymmetries and a few other observables. The P-wave contribution is dominated by
resonance, and the S-wave contribution is analyzed using the unitarized chiral perturbation theory. The obtained branching fraction for
, at the order
, is consistent with the available experimental data. The S-wave contribution has a branching ratio at the order of
, and this prediction can be tested by experiments like BESIII and LHCb. Future measurements can also be used to examine the
–
scattering phase shift.
