D⁰ → K⁰ K⁺ K⁻#
The decay \(D^0 \to K^0K^+K^-\) has a spinless initial and final state, which means that there is no need to align spin with Dalitz-plot decomposition. This notebook shows that the model formulated by ampform is the same as that formulated by AmpForm-DPD. To simplify this comparison, we do not define any dynamics.

Model formulation#
DPD model#
Note that, as opposed to Λc⁺ → pπ⁺K⁻ and J/ψ → K⁰Σ⁺p̅, there are no Wigner-\(d\) functions, because the final state is spinless.
There is an isobar Wigner-\(d\) function, which takes the following helicity angles as argument:
AmpForm model#
AmpForm does not formulate alignment Wigner-\(D\) functions. For the case of this spinless final state, this means the intensity is the same as that of the DPD model.
Confirm equivalence#
AMPFORM_EXPR = cached.unfold(AMPFORM_MODEL)
AMPFORM_EXPR
DPD_EXPR = cached.unfold(DPD_MODEL)
DPD_EXPR
assert DPD_EXPR.xreplace(substitutions) == AMPFORM_EXPR
