In this article, we present a measurement of the branching fractions and charge-parity-( C P -)violating parameters in B ω K decays. The results are obtained from the final data sample containing 772 × 10 6 B B ¯ pairs collected at the Υ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e - collider. We obtain the branching fractions B ( B 0 ω K 0 ) = ( 4.5 ± 0.4 ( stat ) ± 0.3 ( syst ) ) × 10 - 6 , B ( B + ω K + ) = ( 6.8 ± 0.4 ( stat ) ± 0.4 ( syst ) ) × 10 - 6 which are in agreement with their respective current world averages. For the C P -violating parameters, we obtain A ω K S 0 = - 0.36 ± 0.19 ( stat ) ± 0.05 ( syst ) , S ω K S 0 = + 0.91 ± 0.32 ( stat ) ± 0.05 ( syst ) , A ω K + = - 0.03 ± 0.04 ( stat ) ± 0.01 ( syst ) , where A and S represent the direct and mixing-induced C P asymmetry, respectively. We find no evidence of C P violation in the decay channel B + ω K + ; however, we obtain the first evidence of C P violation in the B 0 ω K S 0 decay channel at the level of 3.1 standard deviations.
