Here, we report a measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B0 → K0Sπ0π0 decays using a data sample of 772 × 106 B¯B pairs collected by the Belle experiment running at the Υ(4S) resonance at the KEKB e+e collider. This decay proceeds mainly via a b → sd¯d “penguin” amplitude. The results are sin2Φeff1 = 0.92+0.27–0.31 (stat.) ±0.11 (syst.) and A = 0.28 ± 0.21 (stat.) ±0.04 (syst.), which are the most precise measurements of CP violation in this decay mode to date. The value for the CP-violating parameter sin2Φeff1 is consistent with that obtained using decay modes proceeding via a b → c¯cs “tree” amplitude.
