Abstract
In this exploratory study, final state interactions are considered to formulate the B meson decay amplitude for the \(K\pi \pi \) channel. The Faddeev decomposition of the Bethe–Salpeter equation is used in order to build a relativistic three-body model within the light-front framework. The S-wave scattering amplitude for the \(K\pi \) system is considered in the 1/2 and 3/2 isospin channels with the set of inhomogeneous integral equations solved perturbatively. In comparison with previous results for the D meson decay in the same channel, one has to consider the different partonic processes, which build the source amplitudes, and the larger absorption to other decay channels appears, that are important features to be addressed. As in the D decay case, the convergence of the rescattering perturbative series is also achieved with two-loop contributions.
