Abstract

We report a measurement of the exclusive B+B^+ meson decay to the final state DsK+π+D_s^- K^+\pi^+ using 520×106BBˉ520 \times 10^{6} B\bar{B} pairs collected near the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider. Using the DSϕπD_S^- \to \phi \pi^- decay mode to reconstruct DsD_s^- mesons, we obtain the branching fraction B(B+DsK+π+)=(1.770.12+0.12(stat)±0.16(syst)±0.23(B))×104{\cal B}(B^+\to D_s^-K^+\pi^+)= (1.77^{+0.12}_{-0.12} {\mathrm (stat)} \pm 0.16 {\mathrm (syst)} \pm 0.23 {\cal(B)})\times 10^{-4}. We also present preliminary results of a study of the two-body DsKD_sK, DsπD_s\pi and KπK\pi subsystems observed in this final state.
