Abstract: (arXiv)
We report measurements of charmless hadronic decays into the \pipiKpi final state. The analysis uses a sample of \NBBUsed \BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy \epem collider at the \Y4S resonance. The decay B^0\to\rzKpi is observed for the first time/ the significance is and the corresponding partial branching fraction for \MKpi \in (0.75,1.20) \GeVcc is [\absBFrzKpi]\BFunit. We also obtain the first evidence for B^0 \to \fzKpi with \SfzKpi\sigma significance and for B^0 \to\pipiKstz with \SpipiKstz\sigma significance. For the two-body decays B^0\to\rzKstz and B^0\to\fzKstz, the significances are and , respectively, and the upper limits on the branching fractions are 3.4\BFunit and 2.2\BFunit at 90% confidence level.Note:
