Abstract

We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B ^±→ηh ^± (h=K or π) and the observation of the decay B0→ηK0 from the final data sample of 772×106BB̄ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e ⁺e ^- collider. The measured branching fractions are B(B ^±→ηK ^±)=(2. 12±0.23±0.11)×10 ^-6, B(B ^±→ηπ ^±)=(4.07±0. 26±0.21)×10 ^-6, and B(B0→ηK0)=(1.27-0.29+0. 33±0.08)×10 ^-6, where the last decay is observed for the first time with a significance of 5.4 standard deviations (σ). We also find evidence for CP violation in the charged B modes, A _CP(B ^±→ηK ^±)=-0.38±0.11±0. 01 and A _CP(B ^±→ηπ ^±)=- 0.19±0.06±0.01 with significances of 3.8σ and 3.0σ, respectively. For all measurements, the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
