    We present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries in BB-meson decays to ρ+π0\rho^+ \pi^{0}, ρ0π+\rho^{0}\pi^+ and ρ0π0\rho^0\pi^0. The data sample comprises 89×10689 \times 10^6 Υ(4S)BBˉ\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B} decays collected with the BaBarBaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy BB Factory at SLAC. We find the charge-averaged branching fractions B(B+ρ+π0)=(10.9±1.9(stat)±1.9(syst))×106{\cal B}(B^{+}\to \rho^{+}\pi^0) = (10.9 \pm 1.9{\rm (stat)} \pm 1.9{\rm (syst)})\times 10^{-6} and B(B+ρ0π+)=(9.5±1.1(stat)±0.8(syst))×106{\cal B}(B^{+} \to \rho^0 \pi^{+}) = (9.5 \pm 1.1{\rm (stat)} \pm 0.8{\rm (syst)}) \times 10^{-6}, and we set a 90% confidence-level upper limit B(B0ρ0π0)<2.9×106{\cal B}(B^0 \to \rho^0\pi^0) < 2.9 \times 10^{-6}. We measure the charge asymmetries ACPρ+π0=0.24±0.16±0.06A_{CP}^{\rho^{+}\pi^0} = 0.24 \pm 0.16 \pm 0.06 and ACPρ0π+=0.19±0.11±0.02A_{CP}^{\rho^0\pi^{+}} = -0.19 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.02

    New measurements of Ds+ and Ds*+ meson production rates from B decays and from qqbar continuum events near the Y(4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb-1 of data on the Y(4S) resonance and 2.6 fb-1 off resonance, we find the inclusive branching fractions BR(B --> Ds+ X) = (10.93+/-0.19+/-0.58+/-2.73)% and BR(B --> Ds*+ 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 Ds+ --> phi pi+ branching fraction uncertainty. The branching fractions SumBR(B --> Ds(*)+ Dbar(*)) = (5.07+/-0.14+/-0.30+/-1.27)% and SumBR(B --> Ds*+ Dbar(*)) = (4.1+/-0.2+/-0.4+/-1.0)% are determined from the Ds(*)+ momentum spectra

    Measurement of branching fractions for exclusive B decays to charmonium final states

    No full text
    We report branching fraction measurements for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium meson. We use a sample of 22.72+/-0.36 million BBbar events collected between October 1999 and October 2000 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The charmonium mesons considered here are J/ψ, ψ(2S), and χc1, and the light meson in the decay is either a K, K*, or π0

    Evidence for the rare decay B ---> K* l+ l- and measurement of the B ---> K l+ l- branching fraction

    We present evidence for the flavor-changing neutral current decay BK+B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^- and a measurement of the branching fraction for the related process BK+B\to K\ell^+\ell^-, where +\ell^+\ell^- is either an e+ee^+e^- or μ+μ\mu^+\mu^- pair. These decays are highly suppressed in the Standard Model, and they are sensitive to contributions from new particles in the intermediate state. The data sample comprises 123×106123\times 10^6 Υ(4S)BBˉ\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B} decays collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II e+ee^+e^- storage ring. Averaging over K()K^{(*)} isospin and lepton flavor, we obtain the branching fractions B(BK+)=(0.650.13+0.14±0.04)×106{\mathcal B}(B\to K\ell^+\ell^-)=(0.65^{+0.14}_{-0.13}\pm 0.04)\times 10^{-6} and B(BK+)=(0.880.29+0.33±0.10)×106{\mathcal B}(B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-)=(0.88^{+0.33}_{-0.29}\pm 0.10)\times 10^{-6}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of the BK+B\to K\ell^+\ell^- signal is over 8σ8\sigma, while for BK+B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^- it is 3.3σ3.3\sigma

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
