Description
The B decays to omega omega and omega phi are
related to B -> phi K* via an SU(3) rotation.
The study of these yet unseen decay
modes can therefore provide information regarding
the unexpectedly small value of the longitudinal spin component
(f_L) measured in B -> phi K* decays.
We present here the results of a new search for these decay modes,
as well as other charmless B decays, performed
using about 470M B-Bbar events recorded by the BaBar detector.
We also present studies of direct CP violation in charmless B decays to kaons.
In particular we discuss the K+K- mass dependence of the CP-asymmetry of
the decay B+ --> K+K-K+.
