Abstract

We describe searches for $B$ meson decays to the charmless vector-vector final states $\ensuremath{\omega}{K}^{*}$, $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\rho}$, $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\omega}$, and $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\phi}$ with $233\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ $B\overline{B}$ pairs produced in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ $B\overline{B}$ annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=10.58\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. We also search for the vector-scalar $B$ decay to $\ensuremath{\omega}{f}_{0}$. We measure the following branching fractions in units of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$: $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{K}^{*0})=2.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.7\text{ }\text{ }(<4.2)$, $\mathcal{B}({B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{K}^{*+})={0.6}_{\ensuremath{-}1.2\ensuremath{-}0.9}^{+1.4+1.1}\text{ }\text{ }(<3.4)$, $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0})=\ensuremath{-}0.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{0.7}_{\ensuremath{-}0.3}^{+0.8}\text{ }\text{ }(<1.5)$, $\mathcal{B}({B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{+})=10.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{2.1}_{\ensuremath{-}1.0}^{+1.6}$, $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\omega})={1.8}_{\ensuremath{-}0.9}^{+1.3}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4\text{ }\text{ }(<4.0)$, $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\phi})=0.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1\text{ }\text{ }(<1.2)$, and $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{f}_{0})=0.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{0.4}_{\ensuremath{-}0.1}^{+0.2}\text{ }\text{ }(<1.5)$. In each case the first error quoted is statistical, the second systematic, and the upper limits are defined at the 90% confidence level. For ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\omega}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{+}$ decays we also measure the longitudinal spin component ${f}_{L}=0.82\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.11\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$ and the charge asymmetry ${\mathcal{A}}_{CP}=0.04\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.18\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$.
