MEASUREMENT OF THE BRANCHING FRACTION FOR B+- ---> CHI(C0) K+-
We present preliminary results for the measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B{sup {+-}} {yields} {chi}{sub c0} K{sup {+-}} from a sample of 75 million B{bar B} pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The {chi}{sub c0} meson is reconstructed through its two-body decays to {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and K{sup +}K{sup -}. We measure {Beta}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {chi}{sub c0} K{sup {+-}}) x {Beta}({chi}{sub c0} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}) = 1.48 {+-} 0.44(stat) {+-} 0.17(syst) x 10{sup -6}. Using the known values for the {chi}{sub c0} decays branching fractions, we combined these results to obtain {Beta}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {chi}{sub c0} K{sup {+-}}) = (2.4 {+-} 0.7) x 10{sup -4}.
