A direct measurement of |Vcs| in hadronic W decays using a charm tag
1999
Abstract The inclusive charm production rate in W decays is measured from a study of the properties of final state particles. The sample of W pairs is selected from 67.7 pb−1 collected by ALEPH in 1996 and 1997 at centre-of-mass energies near 172 and 183 GeV in the channels W+W−→4q and W + W − →lνq q . The branching fraction of hadronic W decays to a final state containing a c quark, RWc= Γ(W→cX)/Γ(W→hadrons), is measured to be 0.51±0.05stat±0.03syst. This allows a direct determination of the CKM matrix element |Vcs|=1.00±0.11stat±0.07syst.
E decays to ηππ in annihilation at rest
1995
Abstract We have observed the ηπ + π − and ηπ 0 π 0 decay modes of the E meson in p p annihilation at rest into π + π − π 0 π 0 η . The mass and width of the E meson are 1409 ± 3 and 86 ± 10 MeV. The production and decay branching ratio is B( p p → Eππ)B(E → ηππ) = (3.3 ± 1.0) × 10 −3 . With a spin-parity analysis we determine that J P = 0 − . The observation of the ηπ 0 π 0 decay mode establishes that E is isoscalar ( C = +1). We find that E decays to η ( ππ ) s (where ( ππ ) s is an S-wave dipion) and πa 0 (980)(→ πη ) with a relative branching ratio of (78 ± 16) %. Using the K K π production and decay branching ratio measured earlier we determine that B[E → K K π] B[E → ηππ] = 0.61 ± 0.1…

Precision measurements of branching fractions forψ′→π0J/ψandηJ/ψ
2012
We present a precision study of the psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi and eta J/Psi decay modes. The measurements are obtained using 106 x 10(6) psi' events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider operating at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the psi' mass. We obtain B(psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi) = (1.26 +/- 0.02(stat) +/- 0.03(syst)) x 10(-3) and B(psi' -> eta J/Psi) = (33.75 +/- 0.17(stat) +/- 0.86(syst)) x 10(-3). The branching fraction ratio R = B(psi'->pi(0)J/psi)/B(psi'->eta J/psi) is determined to be (3.74 +/- 0.06(stat) +/- 0.04(syst)) x 10(-2). The precision of these measurements of B(Psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi) and R represent a significant improvement over previously publis…

By using a 2.92 fb-1 data sample taken at pffisffiffi 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we search for the radiative transitions.d3770c and cd2S through the hadronic decays cdcd2S. K0 SK p. No significant excess of signal events above background is observed. We set upper limits at a 90% confidence level for the product branching fractions to be Bdd3770cxBd.c. K0 SK k p < 1.6x10-5 and Bd.d3770cd2SxBd.cd2S. K0 SK p<5.6x10-6. Combining our result with world-average values of Bd.cd.cd2S. K0 SK p, we find the branching fractions Bd.d3770c< 6.8 x 10-4 and Bd.d3770cd2S< 2.0 x 10-3 at a 90% confidence level.

2015
We study the rare B meson decays B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ K^+ K^- K{+-,0}, B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ \phi\ K{+-,0}, and search for B0 --> J/\psi\ \phi, using 469 million BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. We present new measurements of branching fractions and a study of the J/\psi\phi mass distribution in search of new charmonium-like states. In addition, we search for the decay B0 --> J/\psi\ \phi, and find no evidence of a signal.
New ISR Cross Section Results onKS0KL0π0andKS0KL0π0π0From BaBar
2017
Abstract We present preliminary measurements of the cross sections for e + e − → K S 0 K L 0 π 0 and K S 0 K L 0 π 0 π 0 obtained using the technique of Initial State Radiation with 469 fb −1 of e + e − collision data collected with the BaBar detector at or near the ϒ ( 4 S ) resonance. The resonant substructure of K S 0 K L 0 π 0 is investigated, and branching fractions for the decays of the charmonium resonances J / ψ and ψ ( 2 S ) into these final states are measured.
