Book Description

We present improved measurements of CP-violation parameters in the decays B° →??−, B° → K+?−, and B° →?°?°, and of the branching fractions for B° →?°?° and B° → K°?°. The results are obtained with the full data set collected at the?(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, corresponding to 467 ± 5 million B{bar B} pairs. We find the CP-violation parameter values and branching fractions S{sub?+?−} = -0.68 ± 0.10 ± 0.03, C{sub?+?−} = -0.25 ± 0.08 ± 0.02,?{sub K−?+} = -0.107 ± 0.016{sub -0.004}{sup +0.006}, C{sub?°?°} = -0.43 ± 0.26 ± 0.05,?(B° →?°?°) = (1.83 ± 0.21 ± 0.13) x 10−6,?(B° → K0?°) = (10.1 ± 0.6 ± 0.4) x 10−6, where in each case, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. We observe CP violation with a significance of 6.7 standard deviations for B° →?+?− and 6.1 standard deviations for B° → K+{pi}{sup -}, including systematic uncertainties. Constraints on the Unitarity Triangle angle? are determined from the isospin relations among the B → {pi}{pi} rates and asymmetries. Considering only the solution preferred by the Standard Model, we find? to be in the range [71{sup o}, 109{sup o}] at the 68% confidence level.
