Improved measurements of branching fractions and CP partial rate asymmetries for $B\toωK$ and $B\toωπ$

Abstract

We report improved measurements of $B$ to pseudoscalar-vector decays containing an $ω$ meson in the final states. Our results are obtained from a data sample that contains $388\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs accumulated at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. We measure the following branching fractions: ${\mathcal B}(B^{+} \to ωK^{+}) = [8.1\pm0.6({\rm stat.})\pm{0.6}({\rm syst.})]\times 10^{-6}$, ${\mathcal B}(B^{+} \to ωπ^{+}) = [6.9\pm{0.6}({\rm stat.})\pm{0.5}({\rm syst.})]\times 10^{-6}$, and ${\mathcal B}(B^{0} \to ωK^{0}) = [4.4^{+0.8}_{-0.7}({\rm stat.})\pm{0.4}({\rm syst.})]\times 10^{-6}.$ The partial width ratio $\frac{Γ(B^{+}\to ωK^{+})}{Γ(B^{0}\to ωK^{0})}$ = $1.8\pm0.4({\rm stat.})\pm0.1({\rm sys.})$. We also set the 90% confidence level upper limit ${\mathcal B}(B^{0} \to ωπ^{0}) < 2.0\times 10^{-6}.$ In addition, we obtain the partial rate asymmetries ${\mathcal A}_{CP} = 0.05^{+0.08}_{-0.07}(\rm {stat.}) \pm 0.01(\rm {syst.})$ for $B^{+} \to ωK^{+}$, and ${\mathcal A}_{CP} = -0.02 \pm 0.09(\rm {stat.}) \pm 0.01(\rm {syst.})$ for $B^{+}\to ωπ^{+}$.
