Improved measurement of the CKM angleγinB∓→D(*)K(*)∓decays with a Dalitz plot analysis ofDdecays toKS0π+π−andKS0K+K−
We report on an improved measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating phase {gamma} through a Dalitz plot analysis of neutral D meson decays to K{sub s}{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and K{sub s}{sup 0}K{sup +}K{sup -} produced in the processes B{sup {-+}} {yields} DK{sup {-+}}, B{sup {-+}} {yields} D* K{sup {-+}} with D* {yields} D{pi}{sup 0}, D{gamma}, and B{sup {-+}} {yields} DK*{sup {-+}} with K8{sup {-+}} {yields} K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup {-+}}. Using a sample of 383 million B{bar B} pairs collected by the BABAR detector, we measure {gamma} = (76 {+-} 22 {+-} 5{+-} 5){sup o} (mod 180{sup o}), where the first error is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic unc…
Measurements of Branching Fraction, Polarization, and Charge Asymmetry ofB±→ρ±ρ0and a Search forB±→ρ±f0(980)
We measure the branching fraction (B), polarization (f(L)), and CP asymmetry (A(CP)) of B-+/-->rho(+/-)rho(0) decays and search for the decay B-+/-->rho(+/-)f(0)(980) based on a data sample of 231.8x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> B (B) over bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. In B-+/-->rho(+/-)rho(0) decays we measure B=(16.8 +/- 2.2 +/- 2.3)x10(-6), f(L)=0.905 +/- 0.042(-0.027)(+0.023), and A(CP)=-0.12 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.10, and find an upper limit on the branching fraction of B-+/-->rho(+/-)f(0)(980)(->pi(+)pi(-)) decays of 1.9x10(-6) at 90% confidence level.
Measurement of theγγ*→ηandγγ*→η′transition form factors
We study the reactions e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} {eta}{sup (/)} in the single-tag mode and measure the {gamma}{gamma}* {yields} {eta}{sup (/)} transition form factors in the momentum transfer range from 4 to 40 GeV{sup 2}. The analysis is based on 469 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity collected at PEP-II with the BABAR detector at e{sup +}e{sup -} center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV.
