Abstract: (arXiv)
Based on a sample of approximately 500,000 hadronic Z0 decays accumulated between 1993 and 1998, the SLD experiment has set limits on 24 fully charged two-body and quasi two-body exclusive charmless hadronic decays of B+, B0, and B0_s mesons. The precise tracking capabilities of the SLD detector provided for the efficient reduction of combinatoric backgrounds, yielding the most precise available limits for ten of these modes.

  • LaTex, 11 pages, 2 figures, uses RevTeX. This version contains minor changes suggested by Phys Rev D reviewers. Previous version was the original resubmission to Physical Review D, Rapid Communications, after rejection from Physical Review Letters. The previous version incorporated a number of changes suggested by Phys. Rev. Lett. referees, including additional clarifying text and figures, as well as a consideration of the possible effects of vector polarization in vector-vector decay modes
