Abstract

We present measurements, based on a sample of approximately 23×106 BB¯ pairs, of the branching fractions and a search for CP-violating charge asymmetries in charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states of kaons and pions. We find the branching fractions B(B0π+π)=(4.1±1.0±0.7)×106, B(B0K+π)=(16.7±1.6±1.3)×106, B(B+K+π0)=(10.81.9+2.1±1.0)×106, B(B+K0π+)=(18.23.0+3.3±2.0)×106, B(B0K0π0)=(8.22.7+3.1±1.2)×106. We also report 90% confidence level upper limits for B meson decays to the π+π0, K+K, and K¯0K+ final states. In addition, charge asymmetries have been found to be consistent with zero, where the statistical precision is in the range of ±0.10 to ±0.18, depending on the decay mode.
