Search for B^+ meson decay to a_(1)^(+)(1260)K^(*0)(892)

Abstract

We present a search for the decay B^+ → a_(1)^(+)(1260)K^(*0)(892). The data, collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, represent 465 × 10^(6)BB(overbar) pairs produced in e^(+)e^(-) annihilation at the energy of the Υ(4S). We find no significant signal and set an upper limit at 90% confidence level on the product of branching fractions B(B^(+) → a_(1)^(+)(1260)K^(*0)(892)) × B(a_(1)^(+)(1260) → π^(+)π^(-)π^(+)) of 1.8 × 10^(-6).
