MeasuringBρπdecays and the unitarity angleα

Abstract
The decay mode Bρπ is currently studied as a channel allowing us, in principle, to measure without ambiguities the angle α of the unitarity triangle. It is also investigated by the CLEO Collaboration where a branching ratio larger than expected for the decay mode B±ρ0π± has been found. We investigate the role that the B* and B0(0+) resonances might play in these analyses.
