Observation of B to K_S^0 pi+ pi- and Evidence for B to K*pm pi mp

We report on a search for charmless hadronic B decays to the three-body final states, K0S h+ pi-, K+ h- pi0, K0S h+ pi0 (h+- denotes a charged pion or kaon), and their charge conjugates, using 13.5 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity produced with center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV, and collected with the CLEO detector. We observe the decay B --> K0 pi+ pi- with a branching fraction (50 +10-9(stat.) +-7(syst.)) x 10^{-6} and the decay B --> K*+(892) pi- with a branching fraction (16 +6-5(stat.) +-2(syst.)) x 10^{-6}.

The Power Supply System of the CLEO III Silicon Detector

The CLEO III detector has recently commenced data taking at the Cornell electron Storage Ring (CESR). One important component of this detector is a 4 layer double-sided silicon tracker with 93% solid angle coverage. This detector ranges in size and number of readout channels between the LEP and LHC silicon detectors. In order to reach the detector performance goals of signal-to-noise ratios greater than 15:1 low noise front-end electronics together with highly regulated low noise power supplies were used. In this paper we describe the low-noise power supply system and associated monitoring and safety features used by the CLEO III silicon tracker.
