Study ofB0→π0π0,B±→π±π0, andB±→K±π0decays, and isospin analysis ofB→ππdecays
2007
We present updated measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B{sup 0}{yields}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}, B{sup {+-}}{yields}{pi}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0}, and B{sup {+-}}{yields}K{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0}. Based on a sample of 383x10{sup 6} {upsilon}(4S){yields}BB decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, we measure B(B{sup 0}{yields}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0})=(1.47{+-}0.25{+-}0.12)x10{sup -6}, B(B{sup {+-}}{yields}{pi}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0})=(5.02{+-}0.46{+-}0.29)x10{sup -6}, and B(B{sup {+-}}{yields}K{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup 0})=(13.6{+-}0.6{+-}0.7)x10{sup -6}. We also measure the CP asymmetries C{sub {pi}{sup 0}}{sub {pi}{sup 0}}=-0.49{+-}0.…
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 forC-parity violation inJ/ψ→γγandγϕ
2014
Using 1.06 x 10(8) psi(3686) events recorded in e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 3.686 GeV with the BESIII at the BEPCII collider, we present searches for C-parity violation in J/psi -> gamma gamma and gamma phi decays via psi(3686) -> J/psi pi(+)pi(-). No significant signals are observed in either channel. Upper limits on the branching fractions are set to be B(J/psi -> gamma gamma) gamma phi) < 1.4 x 10(-6) at the 90% confidence level. The former is one order of magnitude more stringent than the previous upper limit, and the latter represents the first limit on this decay channel.

Measurement of branching fractions andCP-violating charge asymmetries forB-meson decays toD(*)D¯(*), and implications for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maska…
2006
We present measurements of the branching fractions and charge asymmetries of B decays to all D^(*)D^(*) modes. Using 232×10^6 BB pairs recorded on the Υ(4S) resonance by the BABAR detector at the e^+e^- asymmetric B factory PEP-II at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we measure the branching fractions B(B^0→D^(*+)D^(*-))=(8.1±0.6±1.0)×10^(-4), B(B^0→D^(*±)D^∓)=(5.7±0.7±0.7)×10^(-4), B(B^0→D^+D^-)=(2.8±0.4±0.5)×10^(-4), B(B^+→D^(*+)D^(*0))=(8.1±1.2±1.2)×10^(-4), B(B^+→D^*+D^0)=(3.6±0.5±0.4)×10^(-4), B(B^+→D^+D^(*0))=(6.3±1.4±1.0)×10^(-4), and B(B^+→D^+D^(0))=(3.8±0.6±0.5)×10^(-4), where in each case the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. We also determine the l…
Search forCPviolation and a measurement of the relative branching fraction inD+→K−K+π+decays
2005
We report on a search for the CP asymmetry in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^+ \to K^-K^+\pi^+$ and in the resonant decays $D^+ \to \phi\pi^+$ and $D^+ \to \overline{K}^{\star0}K^+$ based on a data sample of 79.9 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the BABAR detector. We use the Cabibbo-favored $D_s^+ \to K^-K^+\pi^+$ branching fraction as normalization in the measurements to reduce systematic uncertainties. The CP asymmetries obtained are $A_{CP}(K^-K^+\pi^{\pm}) = (1.4 \pm 1.0 (stat.) \pm 0.8 (syst.) \times 10^{-2}, A_{CP}(phi pi) = (0.2 +/- 1.5 (stat.) +/- 0.6 (syst.) x 10^-2$, and $A_{CP}(\overline{K}^{\star0} K^{\pm}) = (0.9 \pm 1.7 (stat.) \pm 0.7 (syst.) \times 10^{-2}$. The relative bran…

The authors report the results of a search for the decay B{sup 0} {yields} K*{sup +}K*{sup -} with a sample of 454 {+-} 5 million B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. They obtain an upper limit at the 90% confidence level on the branching fraction for {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} K*{sup +}K*{sup -}) < 2.0 x 10{sup -6}, assuming the decay is fully longitudinally polarized.
Dalitz plot analysis ofB±→π±π±π∓decays
2009
We present a Dalitz plot analysis of charmless B-+/- decays to the final state pi(+/-)pi(+/-)pi(-/+) using a sample of (465 +/- 5)x10(6) B(B)over bar pairs collected by the BABAR experiment at root s=10.58 GeV. We measure the branching fractions B(B-+/-->pi(+/-)pi(+/-)pi(-/+))=(15.2 +/- 0.6 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.4)x10(-6), B(B-+/-->rho(0)(770)pi(+/-))=(8.1 +/- 0.7 +/- 1.2(-1.1)(+0.4))x10(-6), B(B-+/--> f(2)(1270)pi(+/-))=(1.57 +/- 0.42 +/- 0.16(-0.19)(+0.53))x10(-6), and B(B-+/-->pi(+/-)pi(+/-)pi(-/+) nonresonant)=(5.3 +/- 0.7 +/- 0.6(-0.5)(+1.1))x10(-6), where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and model-dependent, respectively. Measurements of branching fractions for the modes B-+/-->…
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.
