“Hot Topics” from BaBar Vasilii G. Shelkov Lawerence Berkeley National Laboratory BaBar Collaboration
qq e- e+ Other B e+ e- Signal B Common Analyses Features Source of Bs Approach all analyses are blinded Variables event shape variables:
Energy flow around B-thrust axis Analytical approach Numerical approach Bsig-thrust Bsig-thrust Ln – Legendre polynomial of nthpower We found that S/B discriminating power of 9-cone Fisher is identical to using a single polynomial L2
Analyses of decays “tree” is Cabibbo suppressed Interference between “penguins”: enhance: suppress:
Large rate for decays approximates a flavor singlet state QCD anomaly, glue coupling to “charming” penguins – c enhanced in loop
Event selection for decays selection of resonances: suppress continuum with: extract signal with: PDFs were validated with independent sample of fully reconstructed events Example:
Projections for fit mES DE mES DE
Projections for fit mES DE mES DE
All results in units of 10-6
Analysis of decays Motivation charmless decays of charged Bs are interesting for direct-CP searches and extraction of CKM angle g Approach use all available PID information(DCH,SVT,DIRC) to separate ps and Ks explicitly veto decays into 2 charged hadrons efficiencies for signal and largest background contributions are calculated as a function of Dalitz plot perform Cut&Count analysis of the entire Dalitz plot
Analysis of decays PID cross-feeds in % Charm Veto veto all possible combinations of K and p which end up within mass window of peak vetom(p+p-)and m(K+K-) mass combinations within of peaks
Analysis of decays Continuum Suppression signal
