Book Description
We present searches for rare or forbidden charm decays of the form X{sub c} 2!h{sup ±}l{sup {-+}}l{sup ({prime})+}, where X{sub c} is a charm hardron (D+, D{sub s}+, or [Lambda]{sub c}+), h{sup {+-}} is a pion, kaon, or proton, and l{sup ({prime}){+-}} is an electron or muon. The analysis is based on 384 fb−1 of e+e− annihilation data collected at or close to the [Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. No significant signal is observed for any of the 35 decay modes that are investigated. We establish 90% confidence-level upper limits on the branching fractions between 1 x 10−6 and 44 x 10−6 depending on the channel. In most cases, these results represent either the first limits or significant improvements on existing limits for the decay modes studied.

Book Description
Based on a dataset acquired by the BABAR experiment running on and near the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance from 1999-2002, an upper limit is set on the rate of D{sup 0}-{bar D}{sup 0} mixing using the decay mode D*{sup +} {yields} D{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}, followed by a semi-leptonic decay of the D{sup 0}. Results are compared to previous BABAR analysis using hadronic decays. We also set limits on the flavor-changing neutral current decays D{sup 0} {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} ({mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) and the lepton-flavor violation decays D{sup 0} {yields} e{sup {+-}}{mu}{sup {-+}}.

Book Description
The results of several studies of charmed mesons and baryons at BABAR are presented. First, searches for the rare decays D{sup 0} {yields} l{sup +}l{sup -} are presented and new upper limits on these processes are established. Second, a measurement of the branching fraction of the isospin-violating hadronic decay D*{sub s}(2112){sup +} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0} relative to the radiative decay D*{sub s}(2112){sup +} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +}{gamma} is made. Third, the decays of D*{sub sJ}(2317){sup +} and D{sub sJ}(2460){sup +} mesons are studied and ratios of branching fractions are measured. Fourth, Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} are examined and their branching fractions measured relative to Cabibbo-allowed modes. Fifth, the {Chi}{sub c}{sup 0} is studied through its decays to {Chi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} and {Omega}{sup -}K{sup +}; in addition to measuring the ratio of branching fractions for {Chi}{sub c}{sup 0} produced from the c{bar c} continuum, the uncorrected momentum spectrum is measured, providing clear confirmation of {Chi}{sub c}{sup 0} production in B decays.

Book Description
The authors present results on searches for the rare B decays B° → ll− (l = e or?) and B+ → K+?{bar?} in?(4S) decays. The data used in these analyses were collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− storage ring during the years 2000 and 2001. The B° → l+l− search was performed using an integrated luminosity of 54.4 fb−1 accumulated at the?(4S) resonance (about 60 million B{bar B} pairs) while the B+ → K+?{bar?} search was performed with 50.7 fb−1 (about 56 million B{bar B} pairs). Both analyses use an additional 6.4 fb−1 of data accumulated about 40 MeV below resonance. They see no evidence for a signal in either the B → l+l− or B → K+{nu}{bar {nu}} decay modes and set the following upper limits at the 90% CL:?(B° → e+e−)
