Branching fraction and asymmetry measurements of charmless $B^+\to K^{*+}h^+_1h^-_2$ (where $h_{1,2}$ = $K$, $\pi$) decays are presented, using a data sample of 232 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to$ $BB$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at…
We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent charge-parity ($CP$) decay-rate asymmetries in $B^0 \to J/\psi \pi^0$ decays. The data sample was collected with the Belle~II detector at the SuperKEKB asymmetric…
Future asymmetric e+e- --> Upsilon(4S) B factories are being constructed to search for CP violation in B0 decays. It is hoped that a CP asymmetry may be observed in B0-B0bar mixing in analogy with that found in neutral kaons. In this mixing…
We discuss the calculation of the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates to next-to-leading order in the heavy quark expansion. $1/m_b$-corrections are estimated to reduce the leading order result by…
We search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson (A0) produced in radiative decays of an Upsilon(2S) or Upsilon(3S) meson, Upsilon --> gamma A0. The data have been recorded by the BABAR experiment at the Upsilon(3S) and Upsilon(2S)…
We present a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction and CP-violating parameters S and C for the decay B->omegaKs. The data sample corresponds to 232x10^6 BBbar pairs produced from e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance.…
Heavy, as yet undiscovered particles, can affect measurements of CP violation in the B system. Measuring CP violation in the Bs system provides an excellent place to observe such effects since Standard Model sources are predicted to produce…
Asymmetric e^+e^- colliders running on the \Upsilon(4S) (B factories) will much more readily measure CP-violating asymmetries in the decays of B_d^0 and B^\pm mesons than in the decays of B_s^0 mesons. As such, they will seemingly not be…
Using a data sample of 62 million \FourS\to B\Bbar decays collected between 1999 and 2001 by the BaBar detector at the PEP2 asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC we study events in which one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a final…
BABAR has studied the time dependent asymmetries in the the decays B0 -> J/psi K0S and B0 -> psi(2S) K0S in a data set of 9.0 fb^-1 taken at the Y(4S)resonance. In these channels we reconstruct 168 events of which 120 are flavor tagged and…
I discuss a model independent determination of the widths of a class of two-body $\bar{B}_s^0 $ decays induced by $b \to c \bar u d$ and $b \to c \bar u s$ transitions. The analysis is based on $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and exploits existing…
The Standard Model predicts a large width difference in the $B_s$ system. New physics can contribute significantly to the {\it mass} difference. If this contribution is CP violating, this will always result in a reduction of the {\it width}…
The BABAR detector, operating at energies near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance at the PEP-II asymmetric $B$ Factory at SLAC, has collected a sample of 32 million $B\bar B$ pairs by May 2001. A study of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries…
Recent rate measurements of B_s mesons and Lambda_b baryons produced in sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton and Upsilon(5S) electron-positron collisions are reviewed, including the first observations of six new decay modes: B_s -> D_s^+…
We study the EPR correlation implied by the entangled wavefunction of the $B^0\bar{B}^0$ pair created by the $\Upsilon $(4S) resonance. The analysis uses the basis provided by the mass eigenstates $B_1,B_2$ rather than the flavour states…
Although heavy-quark symmetry predicts a $B_1\bar{B}$ molecular partner of the $D_1\bar{D}$ molecule, no such state has been observed. We propose that the experimentally observed $\Upsilon(11020)$ may be a candidate for such a state,…
We report the first observation of the radiative hyperonic B decay B+ -> p Lambdabar gamma, using a 140 fb^{-1} data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. The…
We report the first observation of the radiative decay B^0 -> \phi K^0 \gamma using a data sample of 772 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We…
We have searched for the decays $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_0^-$, $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_0^-$, $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_2^-$ and $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_2^-$ in a sample of about 230 million $\Upsilon(4S) \rightarrow B{\bar B}$ decays…
A density-matrix method for the study of tagged states of neutral B mesons with arbitrary coherence properties is applied to several examples, including $e^+ e^-$ production both at and above the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, and hadronic…
