    Branching fraction and CP asymmetries of B0→KS0KS0KS0

    No full text
    We present measurements of the branching fraction and time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B0→K0SK0SK0S decays based on 227×106 Υ(4S)→BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. We obtain a branching fraction of (6.9+0.9−0.8±0.6)×10−6, and CP asymmetries C=−0.34+0.28−0.25±0.05 and S=−0.71+0.38−0.32±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic

    We present results from an analysis of B0(B̅ 0)→ρ+ρ- using 232×106 Υ(4S)→BB̅ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. We measure the longitudinal polarization fraction fL=0.978±0.014(stat)+0.021/-0.029(syst) and the CP-violating parameters SL=-0.33±0.24(stat)+0.08/-0.14(syst) and CL=-0.03±0.18(stat)±0.09(syst). Using an isospin analysis of B→ρρ decays, we determine the unitarity triangle parameter α. The solution compatible with the standard model is α=(100±13)°

    Search for strange-pentaquark production in e+e− annihilation at √s=10.58 GeV

    No full text
    We search for strange pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments -- the Θ(1540)+, Ξ5(1860)−−, and Ξ5(1860)0 -- in 123 fb−1 of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e− storage ring. We find no evidence for these states and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the number of Θ(1540)+ and Ξ5(1860)−− pentaquarks produced per e+e− annihilation event that are about eight and four times lower than the rates measured for ordinary baryons of similar mass

    Measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B→η'K decays

    No full text
    We present measurements of the B -> eta' K branching fractions:for B+ -> eta' K+ we measure also the time-integrated charge asymmetry Ach, and for B0 -> eta' K0S the time dependent CP-violation parameters S and C. The data sample corresponds to 232 million B Bbar pairs produced by e+ e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S). The results are BF(B+ -> eta' K+) = (68.9 +- 2.0 +- 3.2) * 10^-6, BF(B0 -> eta' K0) = (67.4 +- 3.3 +- 3.2) * 10^-6, Ach = 0.033 +- 0.028 +- 0.005, S=0.30 +- 0.14 +- 0.02, C=-0.21 +- 0.10 +- 0.02, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic

    Measurement of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for exclusive B decays to charmonium

    No full text
    We report measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered are J/ψ, ψ(2S) and χc1, and the light meson is either K or K∗. We use a sample of about 124×106 BB¯¯¯ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
