Measurement Of Cp Violation In B0 To Phi K0 And Of Branching Fraction And Cp Violation In B0 2 F0 980 K 0 Atop S

Measurement of CP Violation in B0 to [Phi]K0, and of Branching Fraction and CP Violation in B0 2!F0(980) K$0\atop{S}$

The authors measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B0 2!K+K-K0 based on a data sample of approximately 277 million B-meson pairs recorded at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC. They reconstruct two-body B0 decays to [Phi](1020)K$0\atop{S}$ and [Phi](1020)K$0\atop{L}$. Using a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit, they measure sin2[beta]eff([Phi]K0) = 0.48 ± 0.28 ± 0.10, and C([Phi]K0) = 0.16 ± 0.25 ± 0.09, where the first error is statistical, and the second is systematic. They also present measurements of the CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B0 2!f0(2![pi]+[pi]- )K$0\atop{S}$. The results are obtained from a data sample of 209 x 106 Y(4S) 2!B$\bar{B}$ decays, also collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit they measure the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S(f0(980)K$0\atop{S}$) = - sin 2[beta]efff0(980)K$0\atop{S}$ = -0.95$+0.32\atop{-0.23}$ ± 0.10 and the direct CP violation parameter C(f0(980)K$0\atop{S}$) = - 0.24 ± 0.31 ± 0.15, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Finally, they present a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0 2!f0(2![pi]+[pi]- )K$0\atop{S}$. From a time-dependent maximum likelihood fit to a data sample of 123 x 106 Y(4S) 2!B$\bar{B}$ decays they find 93.6 ± 13.6 ± 6.4 signal events corresponding to a branching fraction of [beta](B0 2!f0(980)(2![pi]+[pi]- )K0) = (6.0 ± 0.9 ± 0.6 ± 1.2) x 10-6, where the first error is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to model uncertainties.

Measurement of CP Violation in B0 to ?K0, and of Branching Fraction and CP Violation in B0 {u2192} F0(980) K$0\atop{S}$.

The authors measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B0 → K+K-K0 based on a data sample of approximately 277 million B-meson pairs recorded at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC. They reconstruct two-body B0 decays to ?(1020)K$0top{S}$ and ?(1020)K$0top{L}$. Using a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit, they measure sin2?eff(?K0) = 0.48 ± 0.28 ± 0.10, and C(?K0) = 0.16 ± 0.25 ± 0.09, where the first error is statistical, and the second is systematic. They also present measurements of the CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B0 → f0(→ ?+?-)K$0top{S}$. The results are obtained from a data sample of 209 x 106 Y(4S) → B$ar{B}$ decays, also collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit they measure the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S(f0(980)K$0top{S}$) = - sin 2?efff0(980)K$0top{S}$ = -0.95$+0.32top{-0.23}$ ± 0.10 and the direct CP violation parameter C(f0(980)K$0top{S}$) = - 0.24 ± 0.31 ± 0.15, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Finally, they present a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0 → f0(→ ?+?-)K$0top{S}$. From a time-dependent maximum likelihood fit to a data sample of 123 x 106 Y(4S) → B$ar{B}$ decays they find 93.6 ± 13.6 ± 6.4 signal events corresponding to a branching fraction of ?(B0 → f0(980)(→ ?+?-)K0) = (6.0 ± 0.9 ± 0.6 ± 1.2) x 10-6, where the first error is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to model uncertainties.
