Book Description
The purpose of this thesis is threefold: Firstly, new measurements of both the exclusive and semi-inclusive partial decay widths of $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ meson decays are presented. Secondly, the feasibility of extracting the unknown polarization components in $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ by partial reconstruction of this pseudo-scalar to vector-vector decay in a Monte Carlo driven analysis scheme is studied. Finally, based on the suggestions contributed by the theory community this study discusses how a measurement of the branching fraction of semi-inclusive decays $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ can contribute to gain insight about the relative decay width di erence in the B$0\atop{s}$--B$0\atop{s}$ meson system.

Book Description
The variety of phenomena occurring in the world surrounding us always has been stirring up curiosity of men. Based on empirical observations of nature and on experiments becoming more and more complex in the course of time, a variety of models concerning the structure of matter have been conceived. In this analysis Br[Bs→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$] is determined by measuring the relative branching fraction Br[Bs→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$]/Br[B0→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$].

Book Description
Under certain theoretical assumptions, the branching fraction of B{sub s}° 2!D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} is directly sensitive to the relative decay width difference [Delta][Lambda]{sub s}{sup CP}/[Lambda]{sub s} in the B{sub s}° system, which is predicted to be sizable in the standard model. Using approximately 4 fb−1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider, the CDF collaboration is currently performing an exclusive selection of B{sub s}° 2!D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} signal candidates in several hadronic modes in order to provide a new branching fraction measurement. In contrast to former analyses, we start to have sensitivity in disentangling D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-}, enabling us to measure the branching fractions of B{sub s}° 2!D{sub s}D{sub s}−, B{sub s}° 2!D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}− and B{sub s}° 2!D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} separately. Yet another interesting mode is the decay of the B{sub s}° into a [phi] pair. This is a vector-vector decay dominated by the b 2!s{ovr ss} penguin transition, which is a sensitive probe for possible new physics effects. Here we present a new measurement of the branching fraction based on a clean sample of about 300 B{sub s}° 2![phi][phi] signal events in a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 2.9 fb−1.

Book Description
The branching fractions for B[sup 0] --> K[sup 0][pi][sup +][pi][sup -], B[sup 0] --> K*[sup +][pi][sup -] and B[sup 0] --> D[sup -]( --> K[sub s][sup 0][pi][sup -])[pi][sup +] decaying to a K[sub s][sup 0][pi][sup +][pi][sup -] state have been measured and agree with previous measurements. The direct CP violating parameter A[sub K*[pi]] was measured for the decay B[sup 0] --> K*[sup +][pi][sup -] and is in agreement with the CLEO measurement, with no evidence of CP violation with the statistics used. Using larger datasets, one can extract amplitudes and relative phases of the resonant contributions to the Dalitz plot, with the possibility to observe new B-meson decays.

Book Description
The authors report on the inclusive branching fractions of B[sup -] and of [bar B][sup 0] mesons decaying to D[sup 0]X, [bar D][sup 0]X, D[sup +]X, D[sup -]X, D[sub s][sup +]X, D[sub s][sup -]X, [Lambda][sub c][sup +]X, [bar [Lambda]][sub c][sup -]X, based on a sample of 88.9 million B[bar B] events recorded with the BABAR detector at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing one B and searching for a reconstructed charmed particle in the rest of the event. The authors measure the number of charmed and of anit-charmed particles per B decay and derive the total charm yield per B[sup -] decay, n[sub c][sup -] = 1.313 [+-] 0.037 [+-] 0.037 [+-] 0.062[sub -0.043][sup +0.063], and per [bar B][sup 0] decay, n[sub c][sup 0] = 1.276 [+-] 0.062 [+-] 0.058[sub -0.046][sup +0.066] where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm branching-fraction uncertainties.

Book Description
New measurements of D[sub s][sup+] and D*[sub s][sup+] meson production rates from B decays and from q[bar q] continuum events near the[Upsilon](4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb[sup -1] of data on the[Upsilon](4S) resonance and 2.6 fb[sup -1] off resonance, we find the inclusive branching fractions[Beta](B[yields] D[sub s][sup+]X)= (10.93[+-] 0.19[+-] 0.58[+-] 2.73)% and[Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+] X)= (7.9[+-] 0.8[+-] 0.7[+-] 2.0)%, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the D[sub s][sup+][yields][phi][pi][sup+] branching fraction uncertainty. The branching fractions[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D(*)[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (5.07[+-] 0.14[+-] 0.30[+-] 1.27)% and[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (4.1[+-] 0.2[+-] 0.4[+-] 1.0)% are determined from the D(*)[sub s][sup+] momentum spectra.

Book Description
We report on a study of inclusive B{sup -} and {bar B}{sup 0} meson decays to D{sup 0}X, {bar D}{sup 0}X, D{sup +}X, D{sup -}X, D{sub s}{sup +}X, D{sub s}{sup -}X, {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}X, {bar {Lambda}}{sub c}{sup -}X, based on a sample of 231 million B{bar B} events recorded with the BABAR detector at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing one B and searching for a reconstructed charm particle in the rest of the event. From the measured branching fractions of these decays, we infer the number of charm and anti-charm particles per {bar B} decay, separately for charged and neutral parents. We derive the total charm yield per B{sup -} decay, n{sub c}{sup -} = 1.202 {+-} 0.023 {+-} 0.040{sub -0.029}{sup +0.035}, and per {bar B}{sup 0} decay, n = 1.193 {+-} 0.030 {+-} 0.034{sub -0.035}{sup +0.044} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm branching-fraction uncertainties. We also present the charm momentum distributions measured in the {bar B} rest frame.
