We present a comprehensive study of B0→ωω decays using 772×10^6  BB-bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. This process is a suppressed charmless decay into two vector mesons and can exhibit interesting polarization and CP violation. The decay is observed for the first time with a significance of 7.9 standard deviations. We measure a branching fraction B=(1.53±0.29±0.17)×10^-6, a fraction of longitudinal polarization f_L=0.87±0.13±0.13, and a time-integrated CP asymmetry A_CP=-0.44±0.43±0.11, where the first uncertainties listed are statistical and the second are systematic. This is the first observation of B0→ωω and the first measurements of f_L and A_CP for this decay.

Abstract

We present a comprehensive study of B0→ωω decays using 772×10^6  BB-bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. This process is a suppressed charmless decay into two vector mesons and can exhibit interesting polarization and CP violation. The decay is observed for the first time with a significance of 7.9 standard deviations. We measure a branching fraction B=(1.53±0.29±0.17)×10^-6, a fraction of longitudinal polarization f_L=0.87±0.13±0.13, and a time-integrated CP asymmetry A_CP=-0.44±0.43±0.11, where the first uncertainties listed are statistical and the second are systematic. This is the first observation of B0→ωω and the first measurements of f_L and A_CP for this decay.
