Observation of the suppressed ADS modes $B^\pm \to [π^\pm K^\mp π^+π^-]_D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to [π^\pm K^\mp π^+π^-]_D π^\pm$

Abstract: An analysis of $B{\pm}\to DK{\pm}$ and $B{\pm}\to D\pi{\pm}$ decays is presented where the $D$ meson is reconstructed in the four-body final state $K{\pm}\pi{\mp} \pi+ \pi-$. Using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0{\rm \,fb}{-1}$, first observations are made of the suppressed ADS modes $B{\pm}\to [\pi{\pm} K{\mp}\pi+\pi-]_D K{\pm}$ and $B{\pm}\to [\pi{\pm} K{\mp} \pi+\pi- ]_D\pi{\pm}$ with a significance of $5.1\sigma$ and greater than $10\sigma$, respectively. Measurements of CP asymmetries and CP-conserving ratios of partial widths from this family of decays are also performed. The magnitude of the ratio between the suppressed and favoured $B{\pm}\to DK{\pm}$ amplitudes is determined to be $rK_B = 0.097 \pm{0.011}$.
