Abstract:

Measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries in B0→ρ±πplusmn; and ρ-K+ decays are presented. As such, no evidence is found for either mixing-induced CP violation in the time-dependent asymmetry of B0→ρ±π± decays, or direct CP violation in B0→ρ-K+. The measurement of direct CP violation is found to be consistent with zero within 2.0 standard deviations, when both statistical and systematic errors are taken into account.

Abstract:

Measurement of time-dependent conjugation (C) and parity (P) asymmetries and the CP-odd fraction in the decay B0→D*+D *- was discussed. It was found that this measurement of R⊥ supersedesthe BABAR results with a factor of 3 reduction in statistical uncertainty. Results also showed that B0→D*+D*- is mostly CP even.
