First observation ofB¯→D(*)ρ′−,ρ′−→ωπ−

Abstract
We report on the observation of B¯D*π+πππ0 decays. The branching ratios for D*+ and D*0 are (1.72±0.14±0.24)% and (1.80±0.24±0.27)%, respectively. Each final state has a D*ωπ component, with branching ratios (0.29±0.03±0.04)% and (0.45±0.10±0.07)% for the D*+ and D*0 modes, respectively. We also observe B¯Dωπ decays. The branching ratios for D+ and D0 are (0.28±0.05±0.04)% and (0.41±0.07±0.06)%, respectively. A spin parity analysis of the ωπ system in the Dωπ final state shows a preference for a wide 1 resonance. A fit to the ωπ mass spectrum finds a central mass of (1349±255+10) MeV and width of (547±8645+46) MeV. We identify this object as the ρ(1450) or the ρ.
