Book Description

We report the first reconstruction in hadron collisions of the suppressed decays B-2!D(2!K+[pi]- )K- and B-2!D(2!K+[pi]- )[pi]- decays, sensitive to the CKM phase [gamma], using data from 7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron collider. We reconstruct a signal for the B-2!D(2!K+[pi]- )K- suppressed mode with a significance of 3.2 standard deviations, and measure the ratios of the suppressed to favored branching fractions R(K) = [22.0 " 8.6(stat) " 2.6(syst)] x 10-3, R+(K) = [42.6 " 13.7(stat) " 2.8(syst)] x 10-3, R-(K) = [3.8 " 10.3(stat) " 2.7(syst)] x 10-3 as well as the direct CP-violating asymmetry A(K) = -0.82"0.44(stat)"0.09(syst) of this mode. Corresponding quantities for B- 2!D(2!K+[pi]- )[pi]- decay are also reported.

Book Description

The authors present measurements of branching fractions in the b 2!s{bar s}s penguin-dominated decays B 2![phi]K and B° 2![phi]K° in a sample of approximately 89 million B{bar B} pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-meson Factory at SLAC. They determine [Beta](B+ 2![phi]K+) = (10.0{sub -0.8}{sup +0.9} ± 0.5) x 10−6 and [Beta](B° 2![phi]K°) = (8.4{sub -1.3}{sup +1.5} ± 0.5) x 10−6. Additionally, they measure the CP-violating charge asymmetry [Alpha]{sub CP}(B{sup ±} 2![phi]K{sup ±}) = 0.04 {+-} 0.09 {+-} 0.01, with a 90% confidence-level interval of [-0.10, 0.18], and set an upper limit on the CKM- and color-suppressed decay B+ 2![phi][pi]+, [Beta](B+ 2![phi][pi]+)

Book Description

The authors report a study of B{sup ±} 2!D*K{sup ±} decays with D* decaying to D[pi]° or D[gamma], using 383 x 106 B{bar B} pairs collected at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. The D meson decays under study include a non-CP mode (K{sup ±}[pi]{sup {-+}}), CP-even modes (K{sup ±}K{sup {-+}}, [pi]{sup ±}[pi]{sup {-+}}) and CP-odd modes (K{sub S}°[pi]°, K{sub S}°[phi], K{sub S}°[omega]). They measure ratios (R*{sub CP±}) of branching fractions of decays to CP eigenmode states and to flavor-specific states as well as CP asymmetries A*{sub CP±} = -0.11 ± 0.09 ± 0.01, R*{sub CP+} = 1.31 ± 0.13 ± 0.04, and A*{sub CP-} = 0.06 ± 0.10 {+-} 0.02, R*{sub CP-} = 1.10 {+-} 0.12 {+-} 0.04, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. Translating the results into an alternative parameterization, widely used for related measurements, they obtain x*+ = 0.11 {+-} 0.06 {+-} 0.02 and x* = 0.00 {+-} 0.06 {+-} 0.01. No significant CP-violating charge asymmetry is found in either the flavor-specific mode D 2!K{sup {+-}}[pi]{sup {-+}} or in B{sup {+-}} 2!D*[pi]{sup {+-}} decays.

Book Description

The authors have reconstructed B[sup -] --> D[sup 0]K[sup -] decays with D[sup 0] mesons decaying to non-CP (K[sup -][pi][sup +]), CD-even (K[sup -]K[sup +], [pi][sup -][pi][sup +]) and CP-odd (K[sup 0][sub s][pi][sup 0]) eigenstates. They have measured the CP asymmetries A[sub CP[sup +]] = 0.40 [+-] 0.15(stat) [+-] 0.08(syst), A[sup CP[sup -]] = 0.21 [+-] 0.17(stat) [+-] 0.07(syst), and the double ratio of branching fractions R[sub +] = 0.87 [+-] 0.14(stat) [+-] 0.06(syst), R[sub -] = 0.80 [+-] 0.14(stat) [+-] 0.08(syst). These results improve the previous existing measurements from BABAR. All results presented in this document are preliminary.
