Using a data sample of 122 million [Formula: see text] decays collected with BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, we measure the time-dependent-asymmetry parameters of the longitudinally polarized component in the B0 → ρ+ρ- decay as CL = -0.23 ± 0.24 ( stat ) ± 0.14 ( syst ) and SL = -0.19 ± 0.33 ( stat ) ± 0.11 ( syst ). The B0 → ρ0ρ0 decay mode is also searched for in a data sample of about 227 million [Formula: see text] pairs. No significant signal is observed, and an upper limit of 1.1 × 10-6 (90% C.L.) on the branching fraction is set. The penguin contribution to the CKM angle α uncertainty is measured to be 11°. All results are preliminary.
