DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826709· OSTI ID:826709

We present a preliminary result of the branching fraction for the B meson decay to the final state K{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} via an intermediate K*{sup 0} resonance using the sample of approximately 23 million B{bar B} mesons produced at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP II e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. The K*{sup 0} was detected through the decay to the final state K{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. The result of this analysis is {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} K*{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}) = (15.5 {+-} 3.4 {+-} 1.8) x 10{sup -6} where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.
