Observation of B meson decays to omegaK^* and improved measurements for omegarho and omegaf_0 (2009)

Abstract

We present measurements of B meson decays to the final states ωK^*, ωp, and ωf_0, where K^* indicates a spin 0, 1, or 2 strange meson. The data sample corresponds to 465×10^6 BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e^+e^- collider at SLAC. B meson decays involving vector-scalar, vector-vector, and vector-tensor final states are analyzed; the latter two shed new light on the polarization of these final states. We measure the branching fractions for nine of these decays; five are observed for the first time. For most decays we also measure the charge asymmetry and, where relevant, the longitudinal polarization f_L.
