Abstract

We study the processes γγ → K[0 over S]K[superscript ±]π[superscript ∓] and γγ → K[superscript +]K[superscript -]π[superscript 0] using a data sample of 519 fb[superscript -1] recorded with the BABAR detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e[superscript +]e[superscript -] collider at center-of-mass energies at and near the Υ(nS) (n = 2, 3, 4) resonances. We observe η[subscript c] decays to both final states and perform Dalitz plot analyses using a model-independent partial wave analysis technique. This allows a model-independent measurement of the mass-dependence of the I = 1/2 Kπ S-wave amplitude and phase. A comparison between the present measurement and those from previous experiments indicates similar behavior for the phase up to a mass of 1.5 GeV/c[superscript 2]. In contrast, the amplitudes show very marked differences. The data require the presence of a new a[subscript 0](1950) resonance with parameters m = 1931 ± 14 ± 22 MeV/c[superscript 2] and Γ = 271 ± 22 ± 29 MeV.
