Nonresonant Cabibbo suppressed decay B±π+ππ± and signal for CP violation

Abstract
We consider various contributions to the nonresonant decay B±π+ π π±, both of the long-distance and short-distance types, with the former providing for most of the branching ratio, predicted to be scrB(B±π+ π π±)=(1.0–5.0)×105. We also discuss an application to CP violation resulting from the interference of that nonresonant background [with m(π+ π)≊3.4 GeV] and B±χc0 π± followed by χc0π+ π. The resulting value of the partial rate asymmetry is (0.44–0.49)sinγ, where γ=arg(Vub*).
