Hadronic B Decays to Charm and Charmonium With the BaBar Experiment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:937464
The BABAR experiment has recorded the decays of more than 465 x 10{sup 6} B{bar B} pairs since 1999, and is reaching an unprecedented precision in the measurement of hadronic B decays. The following results are presented: tests of QCD factorization with the decays B {yields} {chi}{sub c0}K*, B {yields} {chi}{sub c1,2}K{sup (*)}, and {bar B}{sup 0} {yields} D{sup (*)0}h{sup 0}, h{sup 0} = {pi}{sup 0}, {eta}, {omega}, {eta}{prime}, study of the decays to charmonium B {yields} {eta}{sub c}K{sup (*)}, {eta}{sub c}(2S)K{sup (*)} and h{sub c}K{sup (*)}, measurement of the mass difference between neutral and charged B's, measurement of the 'r' parameters for the extraction of the CKM angles sin(2{beta} + {gamma}) with the decays B {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)}h, h = {pi}{sup -}, {rho}{sup -}, K{sup (*)+}, study of the three-body rare decays B {yields} J/{psi}{phi}K, study of the baryonic decays {bar B}{sup 0} {yields} {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}p, B{sup -} {yields} {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}p, and B{sup -} {yields} {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0}p. Except for the results presented in the sections II, III and IV, all the given numbers are preliminary.
