Using e + e collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33 fb 1 recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV, we present an analysis of the decay D s + π + π e + ν e , where the D s + is produced via the process e + e D s * ± D s . We observe the f 0 ( 980 ) in the π + π system and the branching fraction of the decay D s + f 0 ( 980 ) e + ν e with f 0 ( 980 ) π + π measured to be ( 1.72 ± 0.1 3 stat ± 0.1 0 syst ) × 10 3 , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The dynamics of the D s + f 0 ( 980 ) e + ν e decay are studied with the simple pole parametrization of the hadronic form factor and the Flatté formula describing the f 0 ( 980 ) in the differential decay rate, and the product of the form factor f + f 0 ( 0 ) and the c s Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element | V c s | is determined for the first time to be f + f 0 ( 0 ) | V c s | = 0.504 ± 0.01 7 stat ± 0.03 5 syst . Furthermore, the decay D s + f 0 ( 500 ) e + ν e is searched for the first time but no signal is found. The upper limit on the branching fraction of D s + f 0 ( 500 ) e + ν e , f 0 ( 500 ) π + π decay is set to be 3.3 × 10 4 at 90% confidence level. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
