Abstract: (arXiv)
We report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final state K+/- pi+/- pi-/+. Using a sample of 383.2 +/- 4.2 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector, we measure CP-averaged branching fractions and direct CP asymmetries for intermediate resonant and nonresonant contributions. We find evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B+ -> rho0(770) K+, with a CP violation parameter A_CP = (+44 +/- 10 +/- 4 +5,-13)%.- 12.15.Hh
