Summary 25
Summary • Charm spectroscopy at BABAR is very active and pushing the boundaries of experimental knowledge. • Λc(2940)+ first observation; absence in D+p is consistent with Λc interpretation. • Λc(2880)+: first observation in D0p decay mode; improved (M,Γ); absence in D+p is consistent with Λc interpretation. • Ξcc+ and Ξcc++ are searched for but not found; limits not theoretically restrictive. • Updates on DsJ*(2317)+ and DsJ(2460)+; absolute branching fraction measurements for DsJ(2460)+ • X(3872) update and confirmation of positive C parity from J/ψγ mode • Y(4260): limits on DD, φπ+π–, and pp decay modes 26
