Description

Charge-Parity Violation (CPV) is expected in 3-body charm decays such as the $D^+\rightarrow K^- K^+\pi^+$. This is an interesting channel to investigate, and an amplitude analysis is required to understand the dynamics of different contributions to the final state and the dynamical origin of CPV. The present research seeks to analyse recent data of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN, with a precise theoretical model capable of revealing CPV mechanisms. Previous analyses of the $D^+\rightarrow K^- K^+\pi^+$ decay reported by collaborations such as CLEO, BaBar and LHCb itself, were unable to satisfactorily describe the data using the Isobar Model. Currently, the LHCb has a sample of charmed meson decays with around 100 million events for the $D^+\rightarrow K^- K^+\pi^+$ decay. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity to test more complex and realistic models that include hadronic final state interactions and capable of revealing the presence of CPV.
