This book was released on 2008 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we present CP violation studies in the B mesons system, and in particular measurements of the angle gamma of the Unitary Triangle, using data collected by the Babar experiment. The angle gamma is the relative weak phase between the Vub and Vcb elements of the CKM matrix. A crucial parameter, which drives the sensitivity to gamma, is the ratio r between b to u and b to c transition amplitudes. The experimental work consists of two analyses of the B0 to D0 K*0 decays. The first analysis, using an ADS method, allow for a determination of the ratio r for this channel. The large value for the parameter r (of the order of 0,25) makes the use of this channel interesting for measurements of gamma. The second analysis, using a Dalitz method, allow for a determination of r and gamma. These results represent the first contraints on gamma and r obtained from neutral B decays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis reports measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed B° → (D{sup (*){-+}} and B° → D{sup {-+}} [rho]{sup {+-}}) decays in approximately 232 million [Upsilon](4S) → B{bar B} events, collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California, as published in Ref. [14]. The phenomenon of CP violation allows one to distinguish between matter and antimatter, and, as such, is one of the essential ingredients needed to explain the apparent abundance of matter over antimatter in the universe. The Standard Model describes the observed elementary particles in terms of three generations of quarks and leptons, as well as the weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions between them. In the Standard Model, CP violation is incorporated in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, which describes the weak interactions between the quarks. The weak interactions between quarks are described by coupling constants that are functions of three real parameters and one irreducible complex phase. The magnitude of all CP violating effects in the Standard Model is related to this complex phase. The measurement of the CP violating phase of the CKM matrix is an important part of the present scientific program in particle physics. Violation of the CP symmetry manifests itself as a non-zero area of the Unitarity Triangle. The Unitarity Triangle needs to be overconstrained by experimental measurements in order to demonstrate that the CKM mechanism is the correct explanation of this phenomenon. No stringent measurement of the CKM-angle [gamma] is yet available.

Book excerpt: Measuring the angle [gamma] of the unitarity triangle is an important part of overconstraining the Standard Model's explanation of CP violation and testing for new physics contributions to CP violation. Although there are many ways to measure [gamma], all of them have significant experimental or theoretical challenges. This talk presents progress at the babar experiment toward measuring [gamma] using B meson decays.

Book excerpt: We present a review on the measurements of the CKM angle [gamma] ([phi]3)1 as performed by the BABAR and Belle experiments at the asymmetric-energy ee− B factories colliders PEP-II and KEKB. These measurements are using either charged or neutral B decays. For charged B decays the modes {tilde D}°K−, {tilde D}*°K−, and {tilde D}°K*− are employed, where {tilde D}° indicates either a D° or a {bar D}° meson. Direct CP violation is exploited. It is caused by interferences between V{sub ub} and V{sub cb} accessible transitions that generate asymmetries in the final states. For these decays various methods exist to enhance the sensitivity to the V{sub ub} transition, carrying the weak phase [gamma]. For neutral B decays, the modes D{sup (*){+-}}[pi]{sup {-+}} and D{sup {+-}}[rho]{sup {-+}} are used. In addition to the V{sub ub} and V{sub cb} interferences, these modes are sensitive to the B°-{bar B}° mixing, so that time dependent analyses are performed to extract sin(2[beta] + [gamma]). An alternative method would use the lower branching ratios decay modes {tilde D}{sup (*)0}{bar K}{sup (*)0} where much larger asymmetries are expected. The various available methods are mostly ''theoretically clean'' and always free of penguins diagrams. In some cases a high sensitivity to [gamma] is expected and large asymmetries may be seen. But these measurements are always experimentally difficult as one has to face with either low branching ratios, or small asymmetries, or additional technical/theoretical difficulties due to Dalitz/SU(3) and re-scattering models needed to treat/estimate nuisance parameters such as unknown strong phases and the relative magnitude of the amplitude of the interfering ''V{sub ub}'' transitions. Thus at the present time only a relatively limited precision on [gamma] can be extracted from these measurements. The current world average is [gamma] = (7826{sup +19}){sup o} [1]. For other methods and long term perspectives, as discussed in details, the reader is invited to consult the proceedings of the recent CKM workshop that was held in Nagoya (Japan) in December 2006 [2].
