Title: Searches for B Meson Decays to Phiphi, Phirho, Phif0(980), and f0(980)f0(980) Final States

Abstract

We present the results of searches for B decays to charmless final states involving {phi}, f{sub 0}(980), and charged or neutral {rho} mesons. The data sample corresponds to 384 x 10{sup 6} B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector operating at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider at SLAC. We find no significant signals and determine the following 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions, including systematic uncertainties: {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}{phi}) < 2.0 x 10{sup -7}, {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} {phi}{rho}{sup +}) < 30 x 10{sup -7}, {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}{rho}{sup 0}) < 3.3 x 10{sup -7}, {Beta}[B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}f{sub 0}(980)] x {Beta}[f{sub 0}(980) {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}] < 3.8 x 10{sup -7}, and {Beta}[B{sup 0} {yields} f{sub 0}(980)f{sub 0}(980)] x {Beta}[f{sub 0}(980) {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}] x {Beta}[f{sub 0}(980) {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}] < 2.3 x 10{sup -7}.
