Description

We perform a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0->Kspi+pi- in order to extract the CP violation parameters of f0(980)Ks and rho0(770)Ks and direct CP-asymmetries of K*+(892)pi-. The results are obtained from a data sample of (383 +/- 3) 10e6 BBbar decays, collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The measured values of 2beta_eff in B0 decays to f0(980)Ks and rho0(770)Ks are (89 +22/-20 +/- 5 +/- 8) degrees and (37 +19/-17 +/- 5 +/- 6) degrees, respectively, where the first quoted uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is Dalitz plot signal model uncertainty. We measure the significance of 2beta_eff(f0(980)Ks) != 0 to be 4.3 sigma. In decays to K*(892)pi we find ACP = -0.18 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.03. The measured phase difference between the decay amplitudes of B0 -> K*+(892)pi- and B0 -> K*-(892)pi+ is (-164 +/-24 +/-12 +/- 15) degrees.
