Abstract
We report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of neutral mesons to . With a sample of decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy Factory at SLAC, we measure the magnitudes and phases of the intermediate resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for and decays and determine the corresponding -averaged branching fractions and charge asymmetries. The inclusive branching fraction and -violating charge asymmetry are measured to be and where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. We observe the decay with the branching fraction . This measurement differs from zero by 5.6 standard deviations (including the systematic uncertainties). The selected sample also contains decays where , and we measure .
