Abstract: (arXiv)
We present the results of searches for B decays to charmless two-body final states containing η\eta^\prime or ω\omega mesons, based on 20.7 fb1^{-1} of data collected with the BABAR detector. We find the branching fractions B(B+ηK+)=(70±8±5)×106{\cal B}(B^+\to\eta^\prime K^+) = (70\pm 8\pm 5)\times 10^{-6}, B(B0ηK0)=(4211+13±4)×106{\cal B}(B^0\to\eta^\prime K^0) = (42^{+13}_{-11}\pm 4)\times 10^{-6}, and B(B+ωπ+)=6.61.8+2.1±0.7)×106{\cal B}(B^+\to\omega\pi^+)=6.6^{+2.1}_{-1.8}\pm 0.7)\times 10^{-6} where the first error quoted is statistical and the second systematic. We give measurements of four additional modes for which the 90% confidence level upper limits are B(B0ωK0)<13×106{\cal B}(B^0\to\omega K^0) < 13\times 10^{-6}, B(B+ηπ+)<12×106{\cal B}(B^+\to\eta^\prime \pi^+) < 12\times 10^{-6}, B(B+ωK+)<4×106{\cal B}(B^+\to \omega K^+) < 4\times 10^{-6}, and B(B0ωπ0)<3×106{\cal B}(B^0\to\omega\pi^0) < 3\times 10^{-6}.
