N2 - Studies are performed of the Cabibbo-favored decay Ξ+πβΞβ’πΎ0πβ’πΎ+ and the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ξ+πβΞβ’πΎ0πβ’π+, based on a sample of π+β’πβ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5ββfbβ1, accumulated at center-of-mass energies between 4599.53 MeV and 4698.82 MeV with the BESIII detector. The decay Ξ+π βΞβ’πΎ0πβ’π+ is observed for the first time. The branching fractions of Ξ+π βΞβ’πΎ0πβ’πΎ+ and Ξ+π βΞβ’πΎ0πβ’π+ are measured to be (3.04 Β±0.30 Β±0.16) Γ10β3 and (1.73 Β±0.27 Β±0.10) Γ10β3, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results correspond to the most precise measurement of these quantities for both decays. Evidence of a πΎ*+ contribution in the Ξ+π βΞβ’πΎ0πβ’π+ decay is found with a statistical significance of 4.71β’π. The branching fraction of Ξ+π βΞβ’πΎ*+ is calculated under three possible interference scenarios, with the significance increasing to 5.03β’π when interference is taken into account.
