Book Description
The authors present results of searches for B-meson decays to K[sup+][pi][sup -][pi][sup+] with the BABAR detector. With a data sample of 61.6 million B[bar B] pairs, they measure the branching fractions and 90% confidence-level upper limits averaged over charge-conjugate states (the first error is statistical and the second is systematic):[Beta](B[sup+][yields] K*[sup 0](892)[pi][sup+])= (15.5[+-] 1.8[sub -4.0][sup+1.5]) x 10[sup -6], [Beta](B[sup+][yields] f[sub 0](980)K[sup+], f[sub 0][yields][pi][sup+][pi][sup -])= (9.2[+-] 1.2[sub -2.6][sup+2.1]) x 10[sup -6], [Beta](B[sup+][yields][bar D][sup 0][yields] K[sup+][pi][sup -])= (184.6[+-] 3.2[+-] 9.7) x 10[sup -6], [Beta](B[sup+][yields][rho][sup 0](770)K[sup+])

Book Description
We present preliminary results of searches for charged B mesons decaying into the charmless three-body final states h{sup ±} h{sup {-+}} h{sup ±}, where h = [pi] or K, using 51.5 fb−1 of data collected at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. No assumptions are made about intermediate resonances. We measure the branching fractions [Beta](B{sup ±} 2!K{sup ±} [pi]{sup {-+}} [pi]{sup {+-}}) = (59.2 {+-} 4.7 {+-} 4.9) x 10−6 and [Beta](B{sup {+-}} 2!K{sup {+-}} K{sup {-+}} K{sup {+-}}) = (34.7 {+-} 2.0 {+-} 1.8) x 10−6, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. In the same study, we do not observe significant signals for the final states B{sup {+-}} 2![pi]{sup {+-}} [pi]{sup {-+}} [pi]{sup {+-}} and B{sup {+-}} 2!K{sup {+-}} K{sup {-+}} [pi]{sup {+-}}, and therefore provide the 90% confidence upper limits [Beta](B{sup {+-}} 2![pi]{sup {+-}} [pi]{sup {-+}} [pi]{sup {+-}})

Book Description
We report branching fraction measurements for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium meson. We use a sample of 22.72[+-] 0.36 million B[bar B] events collected between October 1999 and October 2000 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The charmonium mesons considered here are J/[psi], [psi](2S), [chi][sub c1], and the light meson in the decay is either a K, K*, or[pi][sup 0].

Book Description
We present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for charmless B-meson decays to three-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The analysis uses 81.8 fb[sup -1] of data collected at the[Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. We measure the branching fractions[Beta](B[sup+][yields][pi][sup+][pi][sup -][pi][sup+])= (10.9[+-] 3.3[+-] 1.6) x 10[sup -6], [Beta](B[sup+][yields] K[sup+][pi][sup -][pi][sup+])= (59.1[+-] 3.8[+-] 3.2) x 10[sup -6], and[Beta](B[sup+][yields] K[sup+]K[sup -]K[sup+])= (29.6[+-] 2.1[+-] 1.6) x 10[sup -6], and provide 90% C.L. upper limits for other decays. We observe no charge asymmetries for these modes.

Book Description
We present a measurement of the branching fraction of neutral B meson decaying to final states containing a K1 meson, i.e. K1(1270) and K1(1400), and a charged pion. The data, collected with the BABAR detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, represent 454 million B{bar B} pairs produced in ee− annihilation. We measure the branching fraction?(B° → K1+?−) = (31.0 ± 2.7 ± 6.9) x 10−6, where the first error quoted is statistical and the second is systematic. In the framework of the K-matrix formalism used to describe these decays, we also set limits on the ratio of the production constants for the K1(1270)+ and K1(1400)+ mesons in B° decays.

Book Description
We present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for neutral B meson decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The results are obtained from a data sample of about 88 million[Upsilon](4S)[yields] B[bar B] decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a time-independent fit we measure the charge-averaged branching fractions[Beta](B[sup 0][yields][pi][sup+][pi][sup -])= (4.7[+-] 0.6[+-] 0.2) x 10[sup -6] and[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] K[sup+][pi][sup -])= (17.9[+-] 0.9[+-] 0.7) x 10[sup -6], where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic; the 90% confidence level upper limit[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] K[sup+]K[sup -])

Book Description
We report measurements of the branching fractions of neutral and charged B meson decays to final states containing a K1(1270) or K1(1400) meson and a charged pion. The data, collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, correspond to 454 million B{bar B} pairs produced in ee− annihilation. We measure the branching fractions?(B° → K1(1270)+?− + K1(1400)+?−) = 3.1{sub 0.7}{sup +0.8} x 10−5 and?(B+ → K1(1270)°?+ + K1(1400)°?+) = 2.9{sub -1.7}{sup +2.9} x 10−5 (

Book Description
The authors analyze the decay B{sup 0} {yields} K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} using a sample of 232 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. A maximum likelihood fit finds the following branching fractions: {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} K{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}) = (43.0 {+-} 2.3 {+-} 2.3) x 10{sup -6}, {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} f{sub 0}({yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -})K{sup 0}) = (5.5 {+-} 0.7 {+-} 0.5 {+-} 0.3) x 10{sup -6} and {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} K*{sup +}{pi}{sup -}) = (11.0 {+-} 1.5 {+-} 0.5 {+-} 0.5) x 10{sup -6}. For these results, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third (if present) is due to the effect of interference from other resonances. They also measure the CP-violating charge asymmetry in the decay B{sup 0} {yields} K*{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, {Alpha}{sub K*{pi}} = -0.11 {+-} 0.14 {+-} 0.05.

Book Description
The authors present measurements of partial branching fractions of B 2!KX, B 2!K° X, and B 2![pi]+X, where X denotes any accessible final state above the endpoint for B decays to charmed mesons, specifically for momenta of the candidate hadron greater than 2.34 (2.36) GeV for kaons (pions) in the B rest frame. These measurements are sensitive to potential new-phisics particles which could enter the b 2!s(d) loop transitions. The analysis is performed on a data sample consisting of 383 x 106 B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− asymmetric energy collider. The results are in agreement with standard model predictions and exclude large enhancements of the inclusive branching fraction due to sources of new physics.

Book Description
The authors present measurements of the branching fractions for the charmless two-body decays B° →??− and B° → K+?−, and a search for the decay B° → K+K−. They include the effects of final-state radiation from the daughter mesons for the first time, and quote branching fractions for the inclusive processes B° → h+h'−n?, where h and h' are pion or kaons. The maximum value of the sum of the energies of the n undetected photons, E{sub {gamma}}{sup max}, is mode-dependent. Using a data sample of approximately 227 million?(4S) → B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e− collider at SLAC.
