We study the decay B0 ->(D*+D*-KS0) using (230 +/- 2)x10^6 B Bbar pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0))=(4.4 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.7)x10(-3) and find evidence for the decay B0 -> D*-Ds1+(2536) with a significance of 4.6 sigma. A time-dependent CP asymmetry analysis is also performed to study the possible resonant contributions to B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0) and the sign of cos2 beta. Our measurement indicates that there is a sizable resonant contribution to the decay B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0) from an unknown D-s1(+) state with large width, and that cos2 beta is positive at the 94% confidence level under certain theoretical assumptions.

Abstract
We study the decay B0 ->(D*+D*-KS0) using (230 +/- 2)x10^6 B Bbar pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0))=(4.4 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.7)x10(-3) and find evidence for the decay B0 -> D*-Ds1+(2536) with a significance of 4.6 sigma. A time-dependent CP asymmetry analysis is also performed to study the possible resonant contributions to B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0) and the sign of cos2 beta. Our measurement indicates that there is a sizable resonant contribution to the decay B0 -> (D*+ D*- KS0) from an unknown D-s1(+) state with large width, and that cos2 beta is positive at the 94% confidence level under certain theoretical assumptions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
