Search for Radiative Penguin Decays B+ ---> Rho+ Gamma, B0 ---> Rho0 Gamma, And B0 ---> Omega Gamma
A search for the decays B {yields} {rho}(770){gamma} and B{sup 0} {yields} {omega}(782) is performed on a sample of 211 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring. No evidence for the decays is seen. We set the following limits on the individual branching fractions {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} {rho}{sup +}{gamma}) < 1.8 x 10{sup -6}, {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {rho}{sup 0}{gamma}) < 0.4 x 10{sup -6}, and {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {omega}{gamma}) < 1.0 x 10{sup -6} at the 90% confidence level (C.L.). We use the quark model to limit the combined branching fraction {bar {Beta}}[B {yields} ({rho}/{omega}){gamma}] < 1.2 x 10{sup -6} and constrain |V{sub td}|/|V{sub ts}|.
