Abstract: (arXiv)
A model-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay B0D(KS0π+π)K0B^0\rightarrow D(K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-) K^{*0} is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb1^{-1}, recorded at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 and 8TeV8 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The CP violation observables x±x_{\pm} and y±y_{\pm}, sensitive to the CKM angle γ\gamma, are measured to be \begin{eqnarray*} x_- &=& -0.15 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.01, y_- &=& 0.25 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.01, x_+ &=& 0.05 \pm 0.24 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.01, y_+ &=& -0.65^{+0.24}_{-0.23} \pm 0.08 \pm 0.01, \end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic and the third arise from the uncertainty on the DKS0π+πD\rightarrow K^0_S \pi^+\pi^- amplitude model. These are the most precise measurements of these observables. They correspond to γ=(8022+21)\gamma=(80^{+21}_{-22})^{\circ} and rB0=0.39±0.13r_{B^0}=0.39\pm0.13, where rB0r_{B^0} is the magnitude of the ratio of the suppressed and favoured B0DK+πB^0\rightarrow D K^+ \pi^- decay amplitudes, in a KπK\pi mass region of ±50MeV\pm50 MeV around the K(892)0K^*(892)^0 mass and for an absolute value of the cosine of the K0K^{*0} decay angle larger than 0.40.4.
