Measurement of the total width, the electronic width, and the mass of theΥ(10580)resonance
2005
We present a measurement of the parameters of the Υ(10580) resonance based on a dataset collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B factory. We measure the total width Γtot=(20.7±1.6±2.5) MeV, the electronic partial width Γee=(0.321±0.017±0.029) keV and the mass M=(10579.3±0.4±1.2) MeV/c2.
Search for rare quark-annihilation decays, B --> Ds(*) Phi
2005
We report on searches for B- --> Ds- Phi and B- --> Ds*- Phi. In the context of the Standard Model, these decays are expected to be highly suppressed since they proceed through annihilation of the b and u-bar quarks in the B- meson. Our results are based on 234 million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC. We find no evidence for these decays, and we set Bayesian 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions BF(B- --> Ds- Phi) Ds*- Phi)<1.2x10^(-5). These results are consistent with Standard Model expectations.
Measurement of the branching fraction forB±→χc0K±
2004
We present a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay ${B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ from a sample of $89\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ $B\overline{B}$ pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. The ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c0}$ meson is reconstructed through its two-body decays to ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}.$ We measure $\mathcal{B}{(B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{}{\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}})\ifmmode\times\e…
Precision measurement of the Λ+c baryon mass
2005
The $\Lambda_c^+$ baryon mass is measured using $\Lambda_c^+\to\Lambda K^0_S K^+$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to\Sigma^0 K^0_S K^+$ decays reconstructed in 232 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ storage ring. The $\Lambda_c^+$ mass is measured to be $2286.46\pm0.14\mathrm{MeV}/c^2$. The dominant systematic uncertainties arise from the amount of material in the tracking volume and from the magnetic field strength.

We have searched for the decays B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}{sup +}a{sub 0}{sup -}, B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}*{sup +}a{sub 0}{sup -}, B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}{sup +}a{sub 2}{sup -} and B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}*{sup +}a{sub 2}{sup -} in a sample of about 230x10{sup 6} {upsilon}(4S){yields}BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We find no evidence for these decays and set upper limits at 90% C.L. on the branching fractions: B(B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}{sup +}a{sub 0}{sup -})<1.9x10{sup -5}, B(B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}*{sup +}a{sub 0}{sup -})<3.6x10{sup -5}, B(B{sup 0}{yields}D{sub s}{sup +}a{sub 2}{sup -})<1.9x10{sup -4}, and B(B{sup 0}{yields}D…
Measurements of the Branching Fraction andCP-Violation Asymmetries inB0→f0(980)KS0
2005
The authors present measurements of the branching fraction and CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B{sup 0} {yields} f{sub 0}(980)K{sub S}{sup 0}. The results are obtained from a data sample of 123 x 10{sup 6} {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays. From a time-dependent maximum likelihood fit they measure the branching fraction {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} f{sub 0}(980)({yields}{Pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0})K{sup 0}) = (6.0 {+-} 0.9 {+-} 0.6 {+-} 1.2) x 10{sup -6}, the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S = 1.62{sub -0.51}{sup +0.56} {+-} 0.09 {+-} 0.04 and the direct CP violation parameter C = 0.27 {+-} 0.36 {+-} 0.10 {+-} 0.07, where the first errors are statistical, the second systematic and …
The BaBar detector: Upgrades, operation and performance
2013
The BABAR detector operated successfully at the PEP-Il asymmetric e(+) e(-) collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1999 to 2008. This report covers upgrades, operation, and performance of the collider and the detector systems, as well as the trigger, online and offline computing, and aspects of event reconstruction since the beginning of data taking.
