    A model for the B±→π−π+π± decay amplitude is proposed to study the large CP violation observed at the high mass region of the Dalitz plane. A short distance b→u amplitude with the weak phase γ is considered together with the contribution of a hadronic charm loop and a s-wave DD¯→ππ rescattering. In the model, the χc0 appears as a narrow resonant state of the DD¯ system below threshold. It is introduced in an unitary two channel S-matrix model of the coupled DD¯ and ππ channels, where the χc0 complex pole in DD¯ channel shows its signature in the off-diagonal matrix element and in the associated DD¯→ππ transition amplitude. The strong phase of the resulting decay amplitude has a sharp sign change at the DD¯ threshold, changing the sign of the CP asymmetry, as it is observed in the data. We conclude that the hadronic charm loop and rescattering mechanism are relevant to the broadening of the CP asymmetry around the χc0 resonance in the ππ channel. This novel mechanism provides a possible interpretation for the CP asymmetry challenging experimental result presented by the LHCb collaboration for the B±→π−π+π± decay in the high mass region.
