Search for X ( 3872 ) → π + π - π 0 at Belle

We present a search for the decay X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 in the (772 ±11) ×10 6 Y⁡(4⁢S)→B⁢$\overline{B}$ data sample collected at the Belle detector, where the X⁡(3872) is produced in B ± → K ± X⁢⁡(3872) and B 0 →K$^{0}_{S}$X(3872) decays. We do not observe a signal, and set 90% credible upper limits for two different models of the decay processes: if the decay products are distributed uniformly in phase space, $\mathscr{B}$⁡(X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 )<1.3%, and if M⁡(π + ⁢π - ) is concentrated near the mass of the D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ 0 pair in the process X⁡(3872) → D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ *0 + c.c. → D 0 ⁢$\overline{D}$ 0 ⁢π 0 → π + ⁢π - π 0 , $\mathscr{B}$⁡⁡(X⁡(3872) → π + ⁢π -⁢ π 0 )<1.2×10 -3 .
