After nine years of operation the BABAR experiment at the B factory PEPII (Standford Linear Accelerator Center) stopped data taking in April 2008. The last three month of data taking were devoted to e+e- collisions at center of mass…
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.
The BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory observed its first hadronic events on the 26th of May 1999. We present the progress made so far on the data taking, the BABAR detector performances and the physics analyses.
Due to the huge interaction rates and the tough experimental environment of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=14TeV and luminosities of up to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1, one of the experimental challenges at the LHC is the triggering…
