Time-integrated and time-dependent angular analyses ofB→J/ψKπ: A measurement ofcos2βwith no sign ambiguity from strong phases

2005

We present results on B -> J/yKp decays using e+e-annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at the U(4S) resonance. The detector is located at the PEP-II asym.-energy storage ring facility at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Using approx. 88*106 B-B pairs, we measure the decay amplitudes for the flavor eigenmodes and observe strong-phase differences indicative of final-state interactions with a significance of 7.6 std. deviations. We use the interference between the Kp S-wave and P-wave amplitudes in the region of the K*(892) to resolve the ambiguity in the detn. of these strong phases. We then perform an ambiguity-free measurement of cos2b using the angular and time-depend…

Measurement of the ratioB(B+→Xeν)/B(B0→Xeν)

2005

We report measurements of the inclusive electron momentum spectra in decays of charged and neutral B mesons, and of the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions B(B+-> Xe nu) and B(B-0 -> Xe nu). These were performed on a sample of 231x10(6) B (B) over bar events recorded with the BABAR detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. Events are selected by fully reconstructing a hadronic decay of one B meson and identifying an electron among the decay products of the recoiling (B) over bar meson. We obtain B(B+-> Xe nu)/B(B-0 -> Xe nu)=1.074 +/- 0.041((stat))+/- 0.026((syst)).

Search for a charged partner of theX(3872)in theBmeson decayB→X−K,X−→J/ψπ−π0

2005

We search for a charged partner of the X(3872) in the decay B --> X- K, X- --> J/psi pi- pi0, using 234 million BBbar events collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- asymmetric-energy storage ring. The resulting product branching fraction upper limits are BR(B0 --> X- K+, X- --> J/psi pi- pi0) X- K0bar,X- --> J/psi pi- pi0) < 22 x 10(-6) at the 90% confidence level.
