We describe several studies to measure the charged track reconstruction efficiency and asymmetry of the BaBar detector. The first two studies measure the tracking efficiency of a charged particle using $\tau$ and initial state radiation…
We present a search for the radiative leptonic decays B+ -> e+ nu gamma and B+ -> mu+ nu gamma using data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in Upsilon(4S)…
A search for the decay B+- to K+-K+-pi-+ was performed using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP. These decays are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model but could occur with a higher branching ratio in supersymmetric models,…
We have measured the process B+- --> (K*+- --> K+- pi0) pi0 based on 232 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a signal yield of 89 +- 26 events we obtain…

We present herein the most recent BABAR results on direct CP asymmetry measurements in B -> Xs gamma, on partial branching fraction and CP asymmetry measurements in B -> Xs l+l-, on a search for B -> pi/eta l+l- decays, on a search for…
The lifetimed of the Bbar0 and B- meson lifetimes are measured using data recorded on the Z peak with the ALEPH detector at LEP. An improved analysis based on partially reconstructed Bbar0 -> D*+l-nubar and B- -> D0l-nubar decays is…
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ in a data sample of 82 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the {\sl BABAR} detector at the PEP-II B-factory. Signal events are selected by examining the…
We search for B0 meson decays into two-body combinations of K0, eta, eta', and phi mesons in 324 million B Bbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We measure the following…
BaBar has measured with unprecedented accuracy the e+e- --> ppbar cross section from the threshold up to Q^2 ~ 20 GeV^2/c^4, finding out an unexpected cross section, with plateaux and negative steps. Evidence for a ratio |G_E/G_M|>1 has…
We present the recent BaBar searches for the leptonic decay B+ --> tau+ nu and for the rare decay B --> K(*) nu nubar, using a data sample of about 470 x 10^6 BB pairs. Both searches use a technique in which one B meson is hadronically…
We explore the possibility of measuring the CKM parameter gamma using CP tagged decays at a very high luminosity e+e- B Factory. A new collider capable of integrating as much as 10 inverse attobarns per year is being discussed as a possible…
