Abstract

The BABAR experiment has been taking data since about one year. Physics results, complementary to those described by G.Sciolla elsewhere in these Proceedings, are presented: various measurements of the neutral and charged B mesons lifetimes, the B^0 mixing frequency, the mistag fractions, and the B --> D_s^(*) X and B^0 --> D_s^(*)+ D^* branching ratios. Some prospects for the close future are shown. All the numbers given here are preliminary.
