Abstract

The ratio of singly Cabibo-suppressed decay rates were measured using the Fermilab experiments. The structure of the density distribution of the decays to fit the Dalitz plot were discussed using the coherent amplitude analysis. The scalar resonances of mass and width were also accounted for half of all decays.
