Study of B --> S Gamma at BaBar Using the Sum of Exclusive Modes

The electromagnetic penguin process b {yields} s{gamma} is very interesting to theorists because it can be used to constrain contributions from new physics that could enter at the one loop level. The high statistics of B{bar B} events collected at the BABAR experiment make a measurement of this rare decay possible. The branching fraction of a sum of exclusive b {yields} s{gamma} decay modes is measured as a function of the strange hadronic mass. This is a large step toward the measurement of the b {yields} s{gamma} rate.
