Measurements of branching fractions for B^+ → p^+γ, B^0 → p^0γ, and B^0 → ωγ

2008 
We present branching fraction measurements for the radiative decays B^+ → ρ^+ γ, B^0 → ρ^0 γ, and B^0 → ωγ. The analysis is based on a data sample of 465 × 10^6 B[overline B] events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We find [script B](B^+ → ρ^+ γ) = (1.20_(-0.37)^(+0.42) ± 0.20) × 10^(-6), [script B](B^0 → ρ^0γ) = (0.97_(-0.22)^(+0.24) ± 0.06) × 10^(-6), and a 90% C.L. upper limit [script B](B^0 → ωγ) < 0.9 × 10^(-6), where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We also measure the isospin-violating quantity Γ(B^+ → ρ^+ γ)/2Γ(B^0 → ρ^0γ)-1 = -0.43_(-0.22)^(+0.25)±0.10.
