Abstract:
With a sample of approximately 89 million BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector, we perform a search for B meson decays into pairs of charmless vector mesons (phi, rho, and K*). We measure the branching fractions, determine the degree of longitudinal polarization, and search for CP violation asymmetries in the processes B->phiK*+, B->phiK*0, B->rho0K*+, and B->rho0rho+. We also set an upper limit on the branching fraction for the decay B->rho0rho0.- electron positron: colliding beams
- electron positron: annihilation
- Upsilon(10570): electroproduction
- B: pair production
- B: hadronic decay
- vector meson: pair production
- Phi(1020)
- K*(892)
- rho(770)
- final state: (0charm)
