B Decays to Hadronic States with Charm/Charmonium in BaBar

TL;DR

This paper reports measurements of branching fractions and CP asymmetry in various B meson decays involving charmonium and hadronic states, based on data from the BaBar experiment.

Contribution

It provides new experimental results on B decay modes and CP asymmetry measurements using data collected by BaBar from 1999 to 2003.

Findings

Measured hadronic branching fractions for B+ -> J/psi p Lambda-bar and B0 -> J/psi p p-bar

Measured branching fractions for B0 -> D*+D-

Determined direct CP asymmetry in B0 -> D0(CP) K- channels

Abstract

In this paper the studies of three different B decays to hadronic states are presented. These results are based on 1999-2003 dataset collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The measurements are the hadronic branching fraction of B+ -> J/psi p Lambda-bar, B0 -> J/psi p p-bar, B0 -> D*+D-, and the direct CP-asymmetry in B0 -> D0(CP) K- channels.
