B Decays and CP Violation from BaBar

TL;DR

This paper reports recent measurements from the BABAR experiment of key parameters in B meson decays and CP violation, including CKM matrix elements and unitarity triangle angles, based on a large dataset.

Contribution

It provides updated experimental results on CKM matrix elements and CP-violating angles using the full BABAR dataset, enhancing understanding of the standard model.

Findings

Measured Vub and Vcb magnitudes with high precision

Determined angles alpha and gamma of the unitarity triangle

Utilized the full BABAR dataset of 467 million B anti-B pairs

Abstract

We present some recent BABAR measurements of the magnitudes of the elements Vub and Vcb of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark-mixing matrix, and of the angles alpha and gamma of the unitary triangle of the standard model of the electroweak interactions. Most of the measurements presented here are based on the full BABAR Y(4S) dataset, consisting of about 467 million B anti-B pairs.
