Abstract:

We measure the branching fractions of the Ψ(2S) meson to the leptonic final states e+e- and μ+μ- relative to that for Ψ(2S)→J/Ψπ_. The method uses Ψ(2S) mesons produced in the decay of B mesons at the Y(45) resonance in a data sample collected with the BABAR detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Using previous measurements for the Ψ(2S) →J/Ψπ+π- branching fraction, we determine the e+e- and π+π- branching fractions to be 0.0078±0.0009±0.0008 and 0.0067±0. 0008±0.0007, respectively. © 2001 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report a measurement of the ratio of the bottom quark production cross section in antiproton-proton collisions at (Formula Presented)=630 GeV to 1800 GeV using bottom quarks with transverse momenta greater than 10.75 GeV identified through their semileptonic decays and long lifetimes. The measured ratio σ(630)/ σ(1800) 50.171±.024±.012 is in good agreement with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics.

Abstract:

We have performed a search for radiative 6-hadron decays using events produced in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.8TeV and collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The decays we considered were B0̅d→K*0(→K-π+γ, B0̅s→φ(→K+K-)γ,0b→γ(→p03C0-)γ), and their charge conjugates. Two independent methods to identify photons from such decays were employed. In the first method, the photon was detected in the electromagnetic calorimeter. In the second method, the photon was identified by an electron-positron pair produced through the external photon conversion before the tracking detector volume. By combining the two methods we obtain upper limits on the branching fractions for the B0̅d, B0̅s and γ,0b radiative decays which, at the 95% confidence level, are found to be B(B0̅d→K*0γ<1.4×-4,B(B0̅d→φγ)<1.6×-4,and (γ,0b→γγ)<1.9×-3.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to the eigenstate, and an updated measurement of the charge asymmetry in B0→K+π-~ decays. In a sample of 33 million Y(4S)→BB̄ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B factory, we find 65-11 +12 and 217±18 K+π- candidates and measure the asymmetry parameters Sππ=0.03-0.56 +0.53±0.111, Cππ=-0.25-0.17 +0.45±0.14, and AKπ = -0.07±0. 08±0.02, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. © 2002 The American Physical Society.
