Rare Hadronic B Decays to Vector, Axial-Vector and Tensors

We review the recent BaBar measurements of several rare B decays, including vector–axial-vector decays B±→φK1±(1270), B±→φK1±(1400) and , vector-vector decays B±→φK∗±(1410), , B0→K∗0K∗0 and B0→K∗+K∗−, vector-tensor decays and φK2(1770)/±(1820), and vector-scalar decays . Understanding the observed polarization pattern requires amplitude contributions from an uncertain source.
