Abstract:

The CP-violating asymmetries in fully reconstructed B⁰ → D^(*)∓π^∓ decays and constraints on sin(2β + γ) were investigated. The time evolution of decays was sensitive to γ because of interference between the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) favored decay and doubly CKM-suppressed decay. The consistency of data was computed with given value of sin(2β + γ) by counting fraction of simulated experiments for which χ ²(sin(2β + γ))-χmin² was smaller. The lower limit on |sin(2β + γ)| was observed at 68% confidence level which drops from 0.69 to 0.60.

Abstract:

Decays that measure the ratio of branching fractions and searches for direct CP violations were analyzed. The decays were collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC. The fitted asymmetries for the small observed differences in the tracking efficiency were corrected between positively and negatively charged track. It was found that the uncertainty in the fixed parameters of the PDFs, determined by fits to stimulated or nonsignal data sets, contributed 0.001 to the systematic errors.

Abstract:

The measurement of R, Rcp+, and Acp+ were presented. B- → D° K-decays with D° mesons decaying to non-CP and CP-even eigenstates were reconstructed. It was observed that the charged-particle tracking was provided by a five-layer silicon vertex tracker (SVT). It was shown that the parametrization of the particle identication PDF was performed by fitting with a Gaussian distribution.

Abstract:

The branching fractions and CP violating charge symmetries for B + → K0π+ and B0→K 0π0 were measured. The decays values for B 0→K̄0K0 and B0→K 0K̄0 were investigated. The upper limits on their branching functions were set at 2.5×10-6 and 1.8×10 -6 respectively, at the 90% CL. It was found that the branching fraction were consistent with previous measurements of the same quantities, but had nearly twice the statistical precision.

Abstract:

CP, T, and CPT violation in B0B̄0 oscillation and limits on the decay-rate difference of neutral B mesons were analyzed. Data and Monte Carlo samples were used to validate the analysis technique. It was found that the limit on CP and T violation in oscillations is independent of and consistent with the measurement based on an analysis of inclusive dilepton events. It was suggested that the fits to data subsamples selected by tagging category, running period, and Brec decay mode give consistent results.
