We present preliminary measurements of the CP asymmetry parameters and CP content in B0-->K+K-Ks decays, with phiKs events excluded. In a sample of 227M BB pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEPII B-Factory at SLAC, we find the CP…
In the neutral B meson system, it is possible to measure the CKM angle alpha using the decay mode b -> u ubar d in the presence of pollution from gluonic b -> d penguin decays. Here the recent status of the measurements of CP-violating…
This Letter describes the first determination of bounds on the CP-violation parameter 2*beta_s using Bs decays in which the flavor of the bottom meson at production is identified. The result is based on approximately 2,000 Bs -> J/psi phi…
We present a feasibility study of a method to measure the cosine of twice the CKM Unitarity Triangle angle beta using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 -> D pi+ pi- decays, where the neutral D meson is reconstructed in decays to…
The existing calculations of the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta-decay differ by about a factor three. This uncertainty prevents quantative interpretation of the results of experiments searching for this process. We…
We report the results of a search for the decay modes B0 -> J/psi D0bar and B+ -> J/psi D0bar pi+. The analysis is based on 140 $\rm fb^{-1}$ of data accumulated by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+} e^{-}$ collider. No…
We present a measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in fully reconstructed $B^0->D^{(*)\pm}\pi^\mp$ decays in a data sample of approximately 88 million $Y(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at the…
We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…
In this article I report on new and updated measurements of the CP-violating parameter beta (phi_1), which is related to the phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix of the electroweak interaction. Over the past few…
The recent data on CP asymmetry in $B->J/\Psi K_S$ and muon g-2 are discussed in the framework of standard model and beyond. Possible new phase effects besides the CKM phase are discussed in the processes concerning CP violation in B decays…
We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to the final states D*-+ pi+-, using approximately 232 million BBbar events recorded by the BABAR experiment at the PEP2 e+e- storage…
Recent measurements of sin2Beta and cos2Beta using b --> ccbars decays are presented using data collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory.
We study the decay B0->D*+D*-Ks using (230 +/- 2) x 10^{6} BBbar pairs collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0->D*+D*-Ks)=(4.4\pm0.4\pm0.7)\times 10^{-3} and find evidence for the decay…
We estimate the decay width difference $\Delta Gamma_d / \Gamma_d$ in the $B_d$ system including $1/m_b$ contributions and next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and find it to be around 0.3%. We explicitly show that the time measurements…
We present preliminary measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. These include new results on the CKM angle alpha based on studies of the decay B -> rho+ rho- and several charmonium and hadronic penguin modes, sensitive to the…
Results of many $\psi(2S)$ hadronic decays and the results of $\psi(2S)$ radiative/hadronic transitions from BES collaboration in the past year are presented. Measurement of $\BR(\jpsi\ra K^0_S K^0_L)$ and the preliminary result of…
Various strategies for extracting or constraining the weak phase gamma with controlled theoretical uncertainties are reviewed. Measurements of the rates for the hadronic decays B^+- -> pi K provide largely model-independent information on…
We present a method for cleanly extracting the CP phase gamma from the Dalitz plots of B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ pi0 pi-, Bd -> K0 pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ K0 K-, and Bd -> K0 K0 Kbar0. The B -> K pi pi and B -> K K Kbar decays are related by…
We identify and quantify systematic effects not accounted for in two previous measurements of the alpha-alpha relative-energy distribution in the beta decay of 8B, which can explain the apparent disagreement with respect to two newer…
I propose an alternative method for measuring the $CP$ violating phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) without ambiguity in an extended SU(3) flavour symmetry analysis, which can ultimately be achieved by exploiting interference effects between $B \to…
