Search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson in the radiative decay Upsilon --> gamma A0

The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, V. Poireau +385

We search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson (A0) produced in radiative decays of an Upsilon(2S) or Upsilon(3S) meson, Upsilon --> gamma A0. The data have been recorded by…

Evidence for the decay B0 --> omega omega and search for B0 --> omega phi

The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, V. Poireau +333

We describe searches for B meson decays to the charmless vector-vector final states omega omega and omega phi with 471 x 10^6 B Bbar pairs produced in e+ e- annihilation at sqrt(s)…

Study of radiative bottomonium transitions using converted photons

The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, V. Poireau +388

We use 111+/-1 million Upsilon(3S) and 89+/-1 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory at SLAC to perform a study of radiative transitions…

Production and Integration of the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer

B. Abbott, J. Albert, F. Alberti +373

During the shutdown of the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2013-2014, an additional pixel layer was installed between the existing Pixel detector of the ATLAS experiment and a new, s…

Observation of the baryonic B decay B0bar --> Lambda_c^+ anti-Lambda K-

The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, V. Poireau +384

We report the observation of the baryonic B decay B0bar --> Lambda_c^+ anti-Lambda K- with a significance larger than 7 standard deviations based on 471x10^6$ BBbar pairs collected…

Observation of Time Reversal Violation in the B0 Meson System

The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, V. Poireau +364

Although CP violation in the B meson system has been well established by the B factories, there has been no direct observation of time reversal violation. The decays of entangled n…
