We report on first measurements of branching fractions~($mathcal{B}$) and CP-violating charge asymmetries~($mathcal{A}$) in charmless $B$ decays at Belle~II. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and corresponding to $34.6$,fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We use simulation to determine optimized event selections. The $Delta E$ distributions of the resulting samples, restricted in $M_{rm bc}$, are fit to determine signal yields. Signal yields are corrected for efficiencies determined from simulation and control data samples to obtain branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for flavour-specific channels. These are the first measurements in charmless decays reported by Belle~II. Results are compatible with known determinations and show detector performance comparable with the best Belle results offering a reliable basis to assess projections for future reach.
We report measurements of branching fractions ($mathcal B$) and direct ${it CP}$-violating asymmetries ($mathcal A_{it CP}$) for the decays $B^+to K^+pi^0$ and $B^+ to pi^+pi^0$ reconstructed with the Belle II detector in a sample of asymmetric-energy electron-positron collisions at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance corresponding to 62.8 $text{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The results are $mathcal{B}(B^+ to K^+pi^0) = [11.9 ^{+1.1}_{-1.0} (rm stat)pm 1.6(rm syst)]times 10^{-6}$, $mathcal{B}(B^+ to pi^+pi^0) = [5.5 ^{+1.0}_{-0.9} (rm stat)pm 0.7(rm syst)]times 10^{-6}$, $mathcal A_{it CP}(B^+ to K^+pi^0) = -0.09 pm 0.09 (rm stat)pm 0.03(rm syst)$, and $mathcal A_{it CP}(B^+ to pi^+pi^0) = -0.04 pm 0.17 (rm stat)pm 0.06(rm syst)$. The results are consistent with previous measurements and show a detector performance comparable with early Belle performance.
This note describes the rediscovery of $Btoeta K$ decays in Belle II data, both in the charged and neutral final state: $B_0toeta K_S$ and $B^pmtoeta K^pm$. The $eta$ is searched for in two decay modes: $etatoetapi^+pi^-$ with $etatogammagamma$, and $etatorhogamma$. The analysis uses data collected in 2019 and 2020 at the SuperKEKB asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider, with an integrated luminosity of $62.8~fb^{-1}$, corresponding to $68.2$ million of $Bbar{B}$ pairs produced. The signal yield is obtained via an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to signal sensitive variables, obtaining branching ratios: $$mathcal{B}left(B^pmtoetaK^pmright) = left(63.4~^{+3.4}_{-3.3},(stat),pm3.2,(syst),right) times10^{-6} $$ $$mathcal{B}left(B_0toetaK_Sright) = left(59.9~^{+5.8}_{-5.5},(stat),pm2.9,(syst),right) times10^{-6} $$ which are consistent with world average.
We report on preliminary measurements of branching fractions, charge-parity-violating asymmetries, and longitudinal polarization fractions in charmless bottom-meson decays from the Belle~II experiment. We use samples of electron-positron collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 62.8 ${rm fb^{-1}}$. The results are compatible with known values, indicating good understanding of early detector performance.
We report the first reconstruction of the $B^{0} to pi^{0} pi^{0}$ decay mode at Belle II using samples of 2019 and 2020 data that correspond to 62.8 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We find $14.0^{+6.8}_{-5.6}$ signal decays, corresponding to a significance of 3.4 standard deviations and determine a branching ratio of $mathcal{B}(B^{0} rightarrow pi^{0} pi^{0}) = [0.98^{+0.48}_{-0.39} pm 0.27] times 10^{-6}$. The results agree with previous determinations and contribute important information to an early assessment of detector performance and Belle IIs potential for future determinations of $alpha/phi_2$ using $B rightarrow pi pi$ modes.
We report on the reconstruction of various charmless $B$ decays from electron-positron collisions at the energy corresponding to the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We use simulation to devise optimized event selections and apply them to the full data set collected in 2019, corresponding to 8.7,fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We fit the difference between half of the collision energy and the $B$ candidate energy (in the $Upsilon(4S)$ frame) for events restricted to a signal-rich range in beam-energy-constrained mass to search for charmless signals. Signal yields of approximately 80, 15, 20, 30, 90, and 160 decays are reconstructed for the channels $B^0 to K^+pi^-$, $B^0 to pi^+pi^-$, $B^+ to K^0_S(to pi^+pi^-)pi^+$, $B^+ to K^+pi^0(to gammagamma)$, $B^+ to K^+K^-K^+$, and $B^+ to K^+pi^-pi^+$, respectively. Yields and background contaminations are compatible with those expected from simulation and comparable with those obtained by the Belle experiment. The results show a good understanding of the detector performance and offer a reliable basis to assess projections for future reach.
