Book Description
The authors perform the first three-dimensional measurement of the amplitudes of B → [psi](2S)K* and B → [chi]{sub c1}K* decays and update the previous measurement B → J/[psi]K*. They use a data sample collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring, corresponding to 232 million B{bar B} pairs. The longitudinal polarization of decays involving a J{sup PC} = 1{sup ++} [chi]{sub c1} meson is found to be larger than that with a 1−− J/[psi] or [psi](2S) meson. No direct CP-violating charge asymmetry is observed.

Book Description
We perform the first three-dimensional measurement of the amplitudes of B {yields} {psi}(2S)K* and B {yields} {chi}{sub c1}K* decays and update our previous measurement for B {yields} J/{psi} K*. We use a data sample collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring, representing 232 million produced B{bar B} pairs. The longitudinal polarization of decays to the 1{sup ++} {chi}{sub c1} meson together with a K* meson, is found to be larger than that for the decay to the 1{sup --} {Psi} mesons. No direct CP-violating charge asymmetry is observed.

Book Description
With a sample of about 227 million B[bar B] pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring the authors perform a full angular analysis of the decay B[sup 0] --> [phi]K*[sup 0](892). They measure the branching fraction to be (9.2 [+-] 0.9 [+-] 0.5) x 10[sup 06] and determine the fractions of longitudinal and parity-odd transverse contributions as f[sub L] = 0.52 [+-] 0.05 [+-] 0.02 and F[sub [perpendicular]] = 0.22 [+-] 0.05 [+-] 0.02, respectively. The phases of the parity-even and parity-odd transverse amplitudes relative to the longitudinal amplitude are found to be [phi][sub [parallel]] = 2.34[sub -0.20][sup +0.23] [+-] 0.05 rad and [phi][sub [perpendicular]] = 2.47 [+-] 0.25 [+-] 0.05 rad, respectively. The authors measure five CP asymmetries which provide important limits on CP violation originating from new physics. They also observe the decay B[sup 0] --> [phi]K*[sup 0](1430).

Book Description
With a sample of about 227 million B{bar B} pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring the authors perform a full angular analysis of the decay B° --> [phi]K*°(892). They measure the branching fraction to be (9.2 ± 0.9 ± 0.5) x 10°6 and determine the fractions of longitudinal and parity-odd transverse contributions as f{sub L} = 0.52 ± 0.05 ± 0.02 and F{sub {perpendicular}} = 0.22 ± 0.05 ± 0.02, respectively. The phases of the parity-even and parity-odd transverse amplitudes relative to the longitudinal amplitude are found to be [phi]{sub {parallel}} = 2.34{sub -0.20}{sup +0.23} ± 0.05 rad and [phi]{sub {perpendicular}} = 2.47 ± 0.25 ± 0.05 rad, respectively. The authors measure five CP asymmetries which provide important limits on CP violation originating from new physics. They also observe the decay B° --> [phi]K*°(1430).

Book Description
Using data taken with the CLEO II detector, we present the first full angular analysis in the color-suppressed modes B° 2!J/[psi] K*° and B 2!J/[psi] K*. This leads to a complete determination of the decay amplitudes of these modes. In addition, we update the branching fractions for B 2!J/[psi] K and B 2!J/[psi] K*.

Book Description
We report an updated amplitude analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of neutral B mesons to K?−?°. With a sample of 454 million?(4S) → B{bar B} decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC, we measure the magnitudes and phases of the intermediate resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for B° and B° decays and determine the corresponding CP-averaged fit fractions and charge asymmetries.

Book Description
We perform an amplitude analysis of B{sup ±} 2!{var_phi}(1020)K*(892){sup ±} decay with a sample of about 384 million B{bar B} pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. Overall, twelve parameters are measured, including the fractions of longitudinal f{sub L} and parity-odd transverse f{sub {perpendicular}} amplitudes, branching fraction, strong phases, and six parameters sensitive to CP-violation. We use the dependence on the K[pi] invariant mass of the interference between the J{sup P} = 1− and 0 K[pi] components to resolve the discrete ambiguity in the determination of the strong and weak phases. Our measurements of f{sub L} = 0.49 ± 0.05 ± 0.03, f{sub {perpendicular}} = 0.21 {+-} 0.05 {+-} 0.02, and the strong phases point to the presence of a substantial helicity-plus amplitude from a presently unknown source.

Book Description
Using 385 fb−1 of ee− collisions, they study the amplitudes of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D° → K−K+?°. They measure the strong phase difference between the {bar D}° and D° decays to K*(892)+K− to be -35.5{sup o} ± 1.9{sup o}(stat) ± 2.2{sup o}(syst), and their amplitude ratio to be 0.599 ± 0.013(stat) ± 0.011(syst). They observe contributions from the K? and K−K+ scalar and vector amplitudes, and analyze their angular moments. They find no evidence for charged?, nor for higher spin states. They also perform a partial wave analysis of the K−K+ system in a limited mass range.

Book Description
Using 8.5M BB events recorded by the BABAR detector the yield of inclusive J[psi], the branching ratios of[psi](2S) and x[sub c] are presented. Combining the charmonium state with either a K[sup+-], K[sub s][sup 0], K*[sup+-] exclusive B decays are reconstructed and their branching ratios determined. Using the fully reconstructed decays, both the B[sup 0] B[sup+-] masses and their difference is measured. Finally the contributions of CP even and odd amplitudes in the decay B[yields] J/[psi] K* are determined from an angular analysis.

Book Description
The study of b quarks has now reached a stage where it is useful to review what has been learned so far and also to look at the implications of future studies. The most important observations thus far measurement of the B lifetime, B0 B0 mixing, and the observation of b? u transitions, as well as more mundane results on hadronic and semileptonic transitions are described in detail by experimentalists who have been closely involved with the measurements. Theoretical progress in understanding b quark decays, including the mechanisms of hadronic and semileptonic decays, are described. Synthesizing the experimental and theoretical information, the authors discuss tests of the standard model and measurements of standard model parameters. Possibilities of more extensive tests using measurement of CP violation in the B system are also addressed.
