Abstract

We present a measurement of the branching fraction for the decay of the neutral B meson into the final state J/ψπ+π−. The data set contains approximately 56 × 10^6 BB pairs produced at the Υ(4S)resonance and recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^− storage ring. The result of this analysis is B(B^0 → J/ψπ^+π^−)=(4.6 ± 0.7 ± 0.6) × 10^(−5), where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, we measure B(B^0 → J/ψρ^0) = (1.6 ± 0.6 ± 0.4) × 10^(−5).
