    Abstract

    We perform a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0→K0Sπ+π− in order to extract the CP violation parameters of f0(980)K0S and ρ0(770)K0S and direct CP-asymmetries of K∗+(892)π−. The results are obtained from a data sample of (383±3)×106 BB¯ decays, collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP2 asymmetric--energy B factory at SLAC. The measured values of 2βeff in B0 decays to f0(980)K0S and ρ0(770)K0S are (89+22−20±5±8)∘ and (37+19−17±5±6)∘, respectively, where the first quoted uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is Dalitz plot signal model uncertainty. We measure the significance of 2βeff(f0(980)K0S)≠0 to be 4.3σ. In decays to K∗(892)π we find ACP=−0.18±0.10±0.03±0.03. The measured phase difference between the decay amplitudes of B0→K∗+(892)π− and B¯0→K∗−(892)π+ is (−164±24±12±15)∘. All results are preliminary.
