Abstract: (APS)

We use data collected by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) to search for B+→h+h−h+ (nonresonant) decays, where h± can be either π±,K±, or p(p¯). We see no evidence for signals and set upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (2.8–8.9)×10−5. If observed, these decays may display CP violating asymmetries.

electron positron: colliding beams
electron positron: annihilation
Upsilon(10570): electroproduction
B: pair production
B+: hadronic decay
final state: (3charged particle)
final state: (0charmed particle)
B+: branching ratio
