Abstract: (arXiv)
Color-suppressed decays of BB mesons to final states with ψ(2S)\psi(2S) mesons have been observed with the CLEO detector. The branching fractions for the decays B+ψ(2S)K+B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^+, B+ψ(2S)K(892)+B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^*(892)^+, B0ψ(2S)K0B^0 \to \psi(2S) K^0, and B0ψ(2S)K(892)0B^0 \to \psi(2S) K^*(892)^0 are measured to be (7.8 +- 0.7 +- 0.9) 10^{-4},(9.2+1.9+1.2)104, (9.2 +- 1.9 +- 1.2) 10^{-4}, (5.0 +- 1.1 +- 0.6) 10^{-4},and(7.6+1.1+1.0)104, and (7.6 +- 1.1 +- 1.0) 10^{-4}, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The first measurement of the longitudinal polarization fraction is extracted from the angular analysis of the Bψ(2S)K(892)B \to \psi(2S) K^*(892) candidates: ΓL/Γ=0.45+0.11+0.04\Gamma_L / \Gamma = 0.45 +- 0.11 +- 0.04 . Our measurements of the decays B0ψ(2S)K0B^0 \to \psi(2S) K^0 and B+ψ(2S)K(892)+B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^*(892)^+ are first observations.
