Radiative And Electroweak Penguin Processes in Exclusive B Decays
A review of recent BABAR results on exclusive B {yields} ({rho}/{Omega}){gamma}, B {yields} {pi}l{sup +}l{sup -} and B {yields} K(*) l{sup +}l{sup -} decays is presented. It was found that {bar {Beta}}[B {yields} ({rho}/{omega}){gamma}] = (1.01 {+-} 0.21 {+-} 0.08) x 10{sup -6}, {bar {Beta}}[B{sup +} {yields} {pi}l{sup +}l{sup -}] < 7.9 x 10{sup -8} at 90% C.L., {bar {Beta}}[B {yields} Kl{sup +}l{sup -}] = (0.84 {+-} 0.07 {+-} 0.02) x 10{sup -6} and {bar {Beta}}[B {yields} K*l{sup +}l{sup -}] = (0.78{sub -0.17}{sup +0.19} {+-} 0.11) x 10{sup -6}. it was also found that different asymmetry measurements are consistent with Standard Model expectations. Based on these results an independent estimate of the |V{sub td}/V{sub ts}| matrix element of the CKM matrix is derived to be |V{sub td}/V{sub ts}| = 0.171{sub -0.021-0.014}{sup +0.018+0.017}. A first evidence of B{sup +} {yields} {rho}{sup +}{gamma} decays was found and last year's observation of B{sup 0} {yields} {rho}{sup 0}{gamma} was confirmed.
