The BABAR detector

Abstract BAB AR, the detector for the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric e+ e− B Factory operating at
the ϒ (4S) resonance, was designed to allow comprehensive studies of CP-violation in B-
meson decays. Charged particle tracks are measured in a multi-layer silicon vertex tracker …

Observation of Violation in the Meson System
B Aubert, D Boutigny, JM Gaillard, A Hicheur… - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We present an updated measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in
neutral B decays with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. This
result uses an additional sample of ϒ (4 S) decays collected in 2001, bringing the data …

Value of assessment of pretest probability of deep-vein thrombosis in clinical management
PS Wells, DR Anderson, J Bormanis, F Guy, M Mitchell… - The Lancet, 1997 - Elsevier
Background When ultrasonography is used to investigate deep-vein thrombosis, serial
testing is recommended for those who test negative initially. Serial testing is inconvenient for
patients and costly. We aimed to assess whether the calculation of pretest probability of …

We have observed a narrow state near 2.32 G e V/c 2 in the inclusive D s+ π 0 invariant
mass distribution from e+ e− annihilation data at energies near 10.6 GeV. The observed
width is consistent with the experimental resolution. The small intrinsic width and the …

Observation of a Broad Structure in the Mass Spectrum around

We study initial-state radiation events, e+ e−→ γ ISR π+ π− J/ψ, with data collected with the
BABAR detector. We observe an accumulation of events near 4.26 GeV/c 2 in the invariant-
mass spectrum of π+ π− J/ψ. Fits to the mass spectrum indicate that a broad resonance with …

Measurement of the CP Asymmetry Amplitude sin 2 β with B 0 Mesons
B Aubert, D Boutigny, JM Gaillard, A Hicheur… - Physical Review Letters, 2002 - APS
We present results on time-dependent CP asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP
eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 88× 10 6 Υ (4 S)→ BB decays
collected between 1999 and 2002 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy …
