Book Description

The authors present results for measurement of the decays to charmless final states of B{sup 0} meson to {eta}K{sup 0}, {eta}{omega}, a{sub 1}{sup +}(1260){pi}{sup -} with a{sub 1}{sup +}(1260) {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, and of B{sup +} to {eta}{rho}{sup +}, {eta}{prime}{pi}{sup +}. Analyses are based on data taken with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e{sup +}e{sup -} collider at SLAC.




Search for B-Meson Decays to Two-Body Final States with A0(980) Mesons


Book Description

The authors present a search for B decays to charmless final states involving charged or neutral a[sub 0] mesons. The data sample corresponds to 89 million B[bar B] pairs collected with the BABAR detector operating at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. They find no significant signals and determine the following 90% C.L. upper limits: [Beta](B[sup 0] [yields] a[sub 0][sup -] [pi][sup +])

Measurements of Branching Fractions and CP-Violating Asymmetries in B Meson Decays to Charmless Two-Body States Containing a K[sup 0].


Book Description

The authors present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries in decays of B mesons to two-body final states containing a K[sup 0]. The results are based on a data sample of approximately 88 million [Upsilon](4S) [yields] B[bar B] decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC.




Study of Hadronic and Rare B Decays in BABAR.


Book Description

We present results from BaBar experiment for the measurement of inclusive and exclusive branching fractions of B mesons into final states containing J/[psi], [psi](2S) and [chi]c. The contributions of CP even and odd amplitudes in the decay B° 2!J/[psi]K*° are determined from an angular analysis. We report the measurements of the branching ratios B° 2!D* D*− and D* D*− K{sub S}°, and the study of exclusive two-body and quasi-two-body charmless decays. The branching fraction of the decay B° 2!K*°[gamma] has been determined and the corresponding CP asymmetry has been measured.




Studies of Charmless Two-Body, Quasi-Two-Body and Three-Body B Decays


Book Description

Preliminary results are presented on a search for several exclusive charmless hadronic B decays, from data collected by the BABAR detector near the [Upsilon](4S) resonance. These include two-body decay modes h{sup {+-}}h{sup {-+}}, three-body decay modes with final states h{sup {+-}}h{sup {-+}}h{sup {+-}} and h{sup {+-}}h{sup {-+}}[pi]°, and quasi-two-body decay modes with final states X°h and X°K{sub s}°, where h = [pi] or K and X° = [eta]' or [omega]. The measurement of branching fractions for four decay modes, and upper limits for nine modes are presented.




Charmless Hadronic B Decays at BaBar


Book Description

Using 22.7M B{bar B} events collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC, we present preliminary measurements of the branching fractions for charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body, quasi two-body and three-body final states with pions, kaons, and? and a0 resonances. In the search for exclusive B° →??−?°, we measure?(B° →?{sup ±}(770)?{sup {-+}}) = (28.9 ± 5.4 ± 4.3) x 10−6, together with the relative asymmetry?{sub phys} = -0.04 ± 0.18 {+-} 0.02. We also set the upper limits on B° →?°(770)?°, non-resonant B° →?+?−?°, B° → a0{sup {+-}}(→??{sup {+-}})?{sup {-+}} and B° → K°{bar K}°.




Measurements of Charmless Three-Body and Quasi-Two-Body B Decays


Book Description

The authors present preliminary results of a search for several exclusive charmless hadronic B decays from electron-positron annihilation data collected by the BaBar detector near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. These include three-body decay modes with final states h"h{sup minus-plus}h" and h"h{sup minus-plus}pi°, and quasi-two-body decay modes with final states X°h and X°K{sub S}°, where h = pi or K and X° = eta-prime or omega. They find beta(B° --> rho{sup minus-plus}pi{sup "}) = (49"135{sup +6}) x 10−6 and beta(B --> eta-prime-K+) = (62"18{+-}8) x 10−6 and present upper limits for right other decays.




Hot Topics from BABAR.


Book Description

The authors present preliminary results of searches for B mesons decaying into the charmless final states, using around 50 fb[sup -1] of data collected at the[Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. They describe measurements with the BaBar data of the branching fractions for B decays to charmless quasi-two-body final states containing[eta][prime] mesons.
