The B^0 -> D^*-a_1^+ branching fraction has been measured with data collected by the BABAR experiment in 1999 and 2000 corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 20.6 fb^-1. Signal events have...

A Dalitz plot analysis of the D0 hadronic decays D0 -> K0 K- pi+, D0 -> K0bar K+ pi- and D0 -> K0bar K+ K- is presented. This analysis is based on a data sample of 22 fb-1 collected with the BABAR...

Measurement of the CP-Violating Asymmetry Amplitude sin2$\beta$ (2002)

Aubert, B., Boutigny, D., Gaillard, J.M., Hicheur, A., Karyotakis, Y., Lees, J.P., ...

We present results on time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 88 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected...

Measurement of the Branching Fraction and CP Content for the Decay $B^0 \to D^{*+}D^{*-}$ (2002)
