Book Description
Observational evidence and theoretical motivation have led us to the conclusion that our current understanding of the universe is incomplete. While new physics is expected to exist above the electroweak scale, its influence can be detected by experiments that operate below this scale. The Babar experiment has recorded approximately 432 fb-1 of data at the center of mass energy of 10.58 GeV, which corresponds to the Y(4S) mass. One of the physics programs is studying radiative decays of the B meson. These decays primarily proceed through loop diagrams, and thus influences of new particles may be detectable. In this thesis, I present results of the measurements of the branching fractions, CP asymmetry, and isospin asymmetry of B -> K* gamma. Results are also presented for the measurements of the branching fractions of B -> rho(omega) gamma. Finally, a search for the decay of B -> phi gamma is given.

Book Description
The standard model has been highly successful at describing current experimental data. However, extensions of the standard model predict particles that have masses at energy scales that are above the electroweak scale. The flavor-changing neutral current processes of the B meson are sensitive to the influences of these new physics contributions. These processes proceed through loop diagrams, thus allowing new physics to enter at the same order as the standard model. New physics may contribute to the enhancement or suppression of rate asymmetries or the decay rates of these processes. The transition B → V[gamma] (V = K*(892), [rho](770), [omega](782), [phi](1020)) represents radiative decays of the B meson that proceed through penguin processes. Hadronic uncertainties limit the theoretical accuracy of the prediction of the branching fractions. However, uncertainties, both theoretical and experimental, are much reduced when considering quantities involving ratios of branching fractions, such as CP or isospin asymmetries. The most dominant exclusive radiative b → s transition is B → K*[gamma]. We present the best measurements of the branching fractions, direct CP, and isospin asymmetries of B → K*[gamma]. The analogous b → d transitions are B → [rho][gamma] and B → [omega][gamma], which are suppressed by a factor of.

Electromagnetic radiative penguin decays of the B meson were studied with the BaBar detector at SLAC's PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory. Branching fractions and isospin asymmetry of the decay B → K*[gamma], branching fractions of B → K*2(1430)[gamma], and a search for B° → [phi][gamma] are presented. The decay rates may be enhanced by contributions from non-standard model processes.

For B{sup +} {yields} {eta}K{sup +}{gamma} they also measure the time-integrated charge asymmetry. The data sample, collected with the BABAR detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, represents 232 x 10{sup 6} produced B{bar B} pairs. The results for branching fractions and upper limits at 90% C.L. in units of 10{sup -6} are: {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {eta}K{sup 0}{gamma}) = 11.3{sub -2.6}{sup +2.8} {+-} 0.6, {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} {eta}K{sup +}{gamma}) = 10.0 {+-} 1.3 {+-} 0.5, {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {eta}'K{sup 0}{gamma})

Book Description
This 2nd edition is an extensive update of "B Decays?. The revisions are necessary because of the extensive amount of new data and new theoretical ideas. This book reviews what is known about b-quark decays and also looks at what can be learned in the future.The importance of this research area is increasing, as evidenced by the approval of the luminosity upgrade for CESR and the asymmetric B factories at SLAC and KEK, and the possibility of experiments at hadron colliders.The key experimental observations made thus far, measurement of the lifetimes of the different B species, B0-B0 mixing, the discovery of ?Penguin? mediated decays, and the extraction of the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb from semileptonic decays, as well as more mundane results, are described in great detail by the experimentalists who have been closely involved with making the measurements. Theoretical progress in understanding b-quark decays using HQET and lattice gauge techniques are described by theorists who have developed and used these techniques.Synthesizing the experimental and theoretical information, several articles discuss the implications for the ?Standard Model? and how further tests can be done using measurements of CP violation in the B system.

The b → s[gamma] transition proceeds by a loop penguin diagram. It may be used to measure precisely the couplings of the top quark and to search for the effects of any new particles appearing in the loop. We present a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the exclusive decay, B° → K*°[gamma]. They use 8.6 x 106 B{bar B} decays to measure B(B° → K*°[gamma]) = (5.4 ± 0.8 ± 0.5) x 10−5.
