Abstract

Using the ARGUS detector at the DORIS-II electron-positron storage ring at DESY, we have investigated the exclusive decay D*+ → D0π+, D0 → KS0π+π-. From a partial wave analysis of the KS0π+π- system we find that (71.8± 4.2 ± 3.0)% are D0 → K*-π+ and (22.7 ± 3.2 ± 0.9)% are D0 → K0ρ{variant}0 with a relative phase of (-137 ± 7 ± 3)° between the channels. The remaining fraction can be described by several channels involving excited resonances, but not by a three-body phase space decay, thus giving first evidence for D0 decays into K0*(1430)-π+, K0 f0(1975), K0 f2(1270), and K0 f0(1400).
