This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present measurements of the decays B[sup 0][yields] D[sub s][sup (*)+] D*[sup -], using data recorded by the BABAR detector in 1999 and 2000, consisting of 20.8 fb[sup -1]. The analysis is conducted with a partial reconstruction technique, in which only the D[sub s][sup (*)+] and the soft pion from the D*[sup -] decay are reconstructed. From the observed rates, we measure the branching fractions[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] D[sub s][sup+] D*[sup -])= (1.03[+-] 0.14[+-] 0.13[+-] 0.26)% and[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] D*[sub s][sup+] D*[sup -])= (1.97[+-] 0.15[+-] 0.30[+-] 0.49)%, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is the error due to the D[sub s][sup+][yields][phi][pi][sup+] branching fraction uncertainty. From the[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] D*[sub s][sup+] D*[sup -]) angular distributions, we measure the fraction of longitudinal polarization[Lambda][sub L]/[Lambda]= (51.9[+-] 5.0[+-] 2.8)%, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction, based on factorization. These results are preliminary.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preliminary results are presented on the branching fractions B (B[sup 0] --> D[sub s][sup *+]D[sup *-]) and B (D[sub s][sup +] --> [phi][pi][sup +]), based on a data sample of approximately 124 x 10[sup 6] B[bar B] events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e[sup +]e[sup -] B-factory. B (B[sup 0] --> D[sub s][sup *+]D[sup *-]) is measured selecting neutral B meson decays to the final state D[sup *-]D[sub s][sup *+] with partial reconstruction of the D[sub s][sup *+], in which only the D[sup *-] and the soft photons from the decay D[sub s][sup *+] --> D[sub s][sup +][gamma] are reconstructed. The branching fraction product B (B[sup 0] --> D[sub s][sup *+]D[sup *-]) [center-dot] B(D[sub s][sup +] --> [phi][pi][sup +]) is measured via a complete reconstruction of the whole decay chain. Comparing these two measurements provides a model-independent determination of the B (D[sub s][sup +] --> [phi][pi][sup +]) branching fraction. The authors obtain the following preliminary results: B(B[sup 0] --> D[sub s][sup *+]D[sup *-]) = (1.85 [+-] 0.09 [+-] 0.16)%; B(D[sub s][sup +] --> [phi][pi][sup +]) = (4.71 [+-] 0.47 [+-] 0.35)% where the first error in each measurement is statistical, the second systematic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present measurements of the branching fractions?(B° → D*−D*{sub s}) and?(D{sub s}+ →??+), based on 123 x 106?(4S) → B{bar B} decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e− B factory. A partial reconstruction technique is used to measure?(B° → D*−D*{sub s}+) and the decay chain is fully reconstructed to measure the branching fraction product?(B° → D*− D*{sub s}+) x?(D{sub s}+ →??+). Comparing these two measurements provides a model-independent determination of the D{sub s}+ →??+ branching fraction. They obtain?(B° → D*−D*{sub s}+) = (1.88 ± 0.09 ± 0.17)% and?(D{sub s}+ →??+) = (4.81 ± 0.52 ± 0.38)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.

Book excerpt: The authors report the measurement of the branching fractions of the rare decays B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)+}?−, B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)+}?−, and B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)-} K{sup (*)+} in a sample of 381 x 106?(4S) decays into B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee− storage ring.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present model-independent measurements of the branching fractions?(B° → D*{sub s} D*−) and?(D{sub s}+ →??+) based on 19.3 fb−1 of data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− B Factory. Neutral B-meson decays to the D*{sub s}+D*− final state are selected with a partial reconstruction of the D*{sub s}+; that is, only the D*− and the soft photon from the decay D*{sub s}+ → D{sub s}+? are reconstructed. The branching fraction?(B° → D*{sub s}+ D*−) is extracted from these event yields, while?(D{sub s}+ →??+) is determined by combining this result with a previous measurement of the product?(B° → D*{sub s}+ D*−) x?(D{sub s}+ →??+) with partial reconstruction of the D*−. They obtain the following preliminary results:?(B° → D*{sub s}+ D*−) = (1.50 ± 0.16 ± 0.12)%,?(D{sub s}+ →??+) = (4.7 ± 0.6 ± 0.8)% where the first error is statistical, and the second systematic.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is threefold: Firstly, new measurements of both the exclusive and semi-inclusive partial decay widths of $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ meson decays are presented. Secondly, the feasibility of extracting the unknown polarization components in $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ by partial reconstruction of this pseudo-scalar to vector-vector decay in a Monte Carlo driven analysis scheme is studied. Finally, based on the suggestions contributed by the theory community this study discusses how a measurement of the branching fraction of semi-inclusive decays $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ can contribute to gain insight about the relative decay width di erence in the B$0\atop{s}$--B$0\atop{s}$ meson system.
