Title: Measurements of branching fraction and direct C P asymmetry in B ± K S 0 K S 0 K ± and a search for B ± K S 0 K S 0 π ±

Abstract

We study charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final states K S 0 K S 0 K ± and K S 0 K S 0 π± using a 711 fb - 1 data sample that contains 772 × 10 6 B B ¯ pairs and was collected at the Υ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. For B ± K S 0 K S 0 K ± , the measured branching fraction and direct CP asymmetry are [ 10.42 ± 0.43 ( stat ) ± 0.22 ( syst ) ] × 10 - 6 and [ + 1.6 ± 3.9 ( stat ) ± 0.9 ( syst ) ] % , respectively. In the absence of a statistically significant signal for B± K S 0 K S 0 π± , we obtain a 90% confidence-level upper limit on its branching fraction as 8.7×10 - 7 .
