摘要：

We study the Dalitz plot of the decay D+ --> K- pi(+) pi(+) with a sample of 15090 events from Fermilab experiment E791. Modeling the decay amplitude as the coherent sum of known Kpi resonances and a uniform nonresonant term, we do not obtain an acceptable fit If we allow the mass and width of the K-0*(1430) to float, we obtain values consistent with those from PDG but the chi(2) per degree of freedom of the fit is still unsatisfactory. A good fit is found when we allow for the presence of an additional scalar resonance, with mass 797 +/- 19 +/- 43 MeV/c(2) and width 410 +/- 43 +/- 87 MeV/c(2). The mass and width of the K-0*(1430) become 1459 +/- 7 +/- 5 MeV/c(2) and 175 +/- 12 +/- 12 MeV/c(2), respectively. Our results provide new information on the scalar sector in hadron spectroscopy.
