Abstract: (arXiv)
We report a measurement of the exclusive B+B^+ meson decay to the Ds()K+π+D_s^{(*)-} K^+\pi^+ final state using 657×106BB657 \times 10^{6} B\overline{B} pairs collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider. We use DsDsγD_s^{*-}\to D_s^-\gamma and the DsϕπD_s^-\to \phi\pi^-, K(892)0K\overline{K^{*}}(892)^0 K^- and KS0KK^0_S K^- decay modes for Ds()D_s^{(*)} reconstruction and measure the following branching fractions: B(B+DsK+π+)=(1.940.08+0.09(stat)0.20+0.20(syst)±0.17(B))×104{\cal B}(B^+\to D_s^-K^+\pi^+)= (1.94^{+0.09}_{-0.08} ({\mathrm stat})^{+0.20}_{-0.20} {\mathrm (syst)} \pm 0.17 {\cal(B)})\times 10^{-4} and B(B+DsK+π+)=(1.470.14+0.15(stat)0.19+0.19(syst)±0.13(B))×104{\cal B}(B^+\to D_s^{*-}K^+\pi^+)= (1.47^{+0.15}_{-0.14} ({\mathrm stat})^{+0.19}_{-0.19} ({\mathrm syst}) \pm 0.13 {\cal(B)})\times 10^{-4}. The uncertainties are due to statistics, experimental systematic errors and uncertainties of intermediate branching fractions, respectively.
