Abstract

We present Dalitz-plot analyses of B+K+ππ+B^+\to K^+\pi^-\pi^+ and B0K+ππ0B^0\to K^+\pi^-\pi^0 using the data sample collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) by the BABAR detector. We have found evidence for direct CP-violation in the decay B±ρ0K±B^\pm\to\rho^0 K^\pm, with a CP-violation parameter ACP=ΓB+ΓBΓB++ΓB=(+44±10±413+5){\cal A}_{CP}={\Gamma_{B^+}-\Gamma_{B^-}\over \Gamma_{B^+}+\Gamma_{B^-}}= (+44\pm10\pm4^{+5}_{-13})%, where ΓB±\Gamma_{B^\pm} are the decay rates. The uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and model-dependent, respectively. We also search for the suppressed decays B+Kπ+π+B^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+ and K+K+πK^+K^+\pi^- and improve upper limits on the decay branching fractions.
