Title: Measurement of branching fraction and final-state asymmetry for the B ¯ 0 K S 0 K π ± decay

Abstract

We report a measurement of the branching fraction and final-state asymmetry for the B ¯ 0 K S 0 K π ± decays. The analysis is based on a data sample of 711 fb - 1 collected at the Υ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e - collider. We obtain a branching fraction of ( 3.60 ± 0.33 ± 0.15 ) × 10 - 6 and a final-state asymmetry of ( - 8.5 ± 8.9 ± 0.2 ) % , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Hints of peaking structures are found in the differential branching fractions measured as functions of Dalitz variables.
