Abstract

The BaBar detector at SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B-Factory has collected between 1999 and 2002 a data sample of 88 millions {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays. We present here recent measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries of neutral B mesons decays to several CP eigenstates. We present the results on the decays to (c{bar c}) K{sub S}{sup 0}/K{sub L}{sup 0}, which are related in the Standard Model to the angle {beta} of the Unitarity Triangle of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix. Moreover we present the branching fractions and the CP-asymmetries of charmless two body decays related to the angle {alpha}.

BaBar Status and Prospects for CP Asymmetry Measurements: Sin(2beta + gamma)

Conference Ganzhur, Sergey ; /DSM, DAPNIA, Saclay

The recent experimental results on CP violation related to the angles of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity triangle 2{beta} + {gamma} are summarized in these proceedings. These results are obtained with approximately 232 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory at SLAC. Using the measurements on time-dependent CP asymmetries in B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup (*){-+}} {pi}{sup {-+}} and B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup {-+}}{rho}{sup {+-}} decays and theoretical assumptions, one finds | sin(2{beta} + {gamma}) | > 0.64 (0.40) at 68% (90%) confidence level.

Measurement of CP violation observables and parameters for the decays B{sup {+-}}{yields}DK*{sup {+-}}

Journal Article Aubert, B ; Karyotakis, Y ; Lees, J P ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the decay B{sup -}{yields}DK*{sup -} using a sample of 379x10{sup 6} {upsilon}(4S){yields}BB events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We perform a Gronau-London-Wyler analysis where the D meson decays into either a CP-even (CP+) eigenstate (K{sup +}K{sup -}, {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}), CP-odd (CP-) eigenstate (K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}, K{sub S}{sup 0}{phi}, K{sub S}{sup 0}{omega}) or a non-CP state (K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}). We also analyze D meson decays into K{sup +}{pi}{sup -} from a Cabibbo-favored D{sup 0} decay or doubly suppressed D{sup 0} decay [Atwood-Dunietz-Soni (ADS) analysis]. We measure observables that are sensitive to themore »« less

BaBar: sin(2beta+gamma)

Conference Voena, Cecilia ; /Rome U. /INFN, Rome

The time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup (*){+-}}{pi}{sup {-+}}/{rho}{sup {-+}} decays (new preliminary result), and in partially reconstructed B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup (*){+-}}{pi}{sup {-+}} decays, are measured with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, using 232 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays. We combine the above results and, using other measurements and theoretical assumptions, they interpret them in terms of the angles of the unitarity triangle describing the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. They find |sin(2{beta} + {gamma})| > 0.64(0.42) at 68%(90%) confidence level using a frequentistic approach and |2{beta}+ {gamma}| = (90 {+-}more » 43){sup o} using a Bayesian approach.« less

Journal Article Aubert, B ; Bona, M ; Boutigny, D ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

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{+-}0.35{+-}0.05, A{sub {pi}{sup {+-}}}{sub {pi}{sup 0}}=0.03{+-}0.08{+-}0.01, and A{sub K{sup {+-}}}{sub {pi}{sup 0}}=0.030{+-}0.039{+-}0.010. Finally, we present bounds on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle {alpha} using isospin relations.

Improved Measurement of CP Observables in B- to D0_CP K- Decays

We present a study of the decay B{sup -} {yields} D{sub (CP)}{sup 0}K{sup -} and its charge conjugate, where D{sub (CP)}{sup 0} is reconstructed in both a non-CP flavor eigenstate and in CP (CP-even and CP-odd) eigenstates, based on a sample of 382 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring. We measure the direct CP asymmetries A{sub CP{+-}} and the ratios of the branching fractions R{sub CP{+-}}: A{sub CP+} = 0.27 {+-} 0.09(stat) {+-} 0.04(syst), A{sub CP-} = -0.09 {+-} 0.09(stat) {+-} 0.02(syst), R{sub CP+} = 1.06 {+-}more »« less
