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.
Study ofe+e−→pp¯via initial-state radiation atBABAR
2013
The e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}pp cross section is determined over a range of pp masses, from threshold to 4.5 GeV/c{sup 2}, by studying the e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}pp{gamma} process. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 232 fb{sup -1}, collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring, at an e{sup +}e{sup -} center-of-mass energy of 10.6 GeV. The mass dependence of the ratio of electric and magnetic form factors, G{sub E}/G{sub M}, is measured for pp masses below 3 GeV/c{sup 2}; its value is found to be significantly larger than 1 for masses up to 2.2 GeV/c{sup 2}. We also measure J/{psi}{yields}pp and {psi}(2S){yields}pp branching fractions and set an upper limi…
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.
Search for the rare decaysB0→Ds(*)+a0(2)−
2006
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…
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.
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 …
