Abstract

We search for the decay B0→ ρ0ρ0in a data sample of about 227 × 106Γ(4S) → B B̄ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e-collider at SLAC. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of 1.1 × 10-6at 90% C.L. on the branching fraction. As a result, the uncertainty due to penguin contributions on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity angle α measured in B → ρρ decays is decreased to 11° at 68% C.L. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
