Observation of B-->K0Sπ+π- and Evidence for B-->K*+/-π-/+
Abstract
We report on a search for charmless hadronic B decays to the three-body final states K0Sh+π-, K+h-π0, K0Sh+π0 (h+/- denotes a charged pion or kaon), and their charge conjugates, using 13.5 fb-1 of integrated luminosity produced near (s)=10.6 GeV, and collected with the CLEO detector. We observe the decay B-->K0π+π- with a branching fraction (50+10-9(stat.)+/-7(syst.))×10- 6 and the decay B-->K*+(892)π- with a branching fraction (16+6-5(stat.)+/-2(syst.))×10- 6.
