Amplitude analysis of B0→K+π-π0 and evidence of direct CP violation in B→K*π decays
Physical Review D(2011)
Abstract
We analyze the decay B0-->K+ pi- pi0 with a sample of 454 million B Bbar events collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, and extract the complex amplitudes of seven interfering resonances over the Dalitz plot. These results are combined with amplitudes measured in B0-->K_S pi+ pi- decays to construct isospin amplitudes from B0-->K* pi and B0-->rho K decays. We measure the phase of the isospin amplitude Phi_3/2, useful in constraining the CKM unitarity triangle angle gamma and evaluate a CP rate asymmetry sum rule sensitive to the presence of new physics operators. We measure direct CP violation in B0-->K*+ pi- decays at the level of 3 sigma when measurements from both B0-->K+ pi- pi0 and B0-->K_S pi+ pi- decays are combined.
