Measurement of the branching fraction and decay rate asymmetry of B--> D-pi(+)pi(-)pi K-0(-)

We report the observation of the decay B-→Dπ+π-π0K-, where Dπ+π-π0 indicates a neutral D meson detected in the final state π+π-π0, excluding KS0π0. This doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay chain can be used to measure the CKM phase γ. Using about 229×106 e+e-→BB̄ events recorded by the BABAR experiment...
