Measurement of the B+- to rho pi0 Branching Fraction and Direct CP Asymmetry
The authors present improved measurements of the branching fraction and CP asymmetry for the process B{sup {+-}} {yields} {rho}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0}. The data sample corresponding to 211 fb{sup -1} comprises 232 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. The yield and CP asymmetry are measured using an extended maximum likelihood fitting method. The branching fraction and Cp asymmetry are found to be {Beta}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {rho}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0}) = [10.2 {+-} 1.4(stat) {+-} 0.9(syst)] x 10{sup -6} and {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {rho}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0}) = -0.01 {+-} 0.13(stat) {+-} 0.02(syst).
