Abstract/Summary:
Using the 9fb−1 data sample collected with the CLEO II.V detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we study the resonant substructure of the Cabibbo suppressed decay D 0 → π+ππ 0. We observe significant contributions from the ρπ+, ρ+π, ρ 0π0, and non-resonant channels, and present results of the amplitudes, phases, and fit fractions for these and other sub-modes. No significant evidence for the σ(500) or any other resonance was found. ACP has been measured as 0.01+0.09-0.07 ± 0.09.
