Abstract
A model-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay $B^0\rightarrow
D(K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-) K^{*0}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb$^{-1}$, recorded at
$\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8 TeV$ by the LHCb experiment. The CP violation observables
$x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$, sensitive to the CKM angle $\gamma$, are measured to
be \begin{eqnarray*} x_- &=& -0.15 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.01, y_- &=& 0.25 \pm
0.15 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.01, x_+ &=& 0.05 \pm 0.24 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.01, y_+ &=&
-0.65^{+0.24}_{-0.23} \pm 0.08 \pm 0.01, \end{eqnarray*} where the first
uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic and the third arise from
the uncertainty on the $D\rightarrow K^0_S \pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude model. These
are the most precise measurements of these observables. They correspond to
$\gamma=(80^{+21}_{-22})^{\circ}$ and $r_{B^0}=0.39\pm0.13$, where $r_{B^0}$ is
the magnitude of the ratio of the suppressed and favoured $B^0\rightarrow D K^+
\pi^-$ decay amplitudes, in a $K\pi$ mass region of $\pm50 MeV$ around the
$K^*(892)^0$ mass and for an absolute value of the cosine of the $K^{*0}$ decay
angle larger than $0.4$.
