Measurements of branching fractions, polarizations, and direct CP-violation asymmetries in B+ -> rho0 K*+ and B+ -> f0(980)K*+ decays

P. del Amo Sanchez

We present measurements of the branching fractions, longitudinal polarization, and direct CP-violation asymmetries for the decays B+ -> rho0 K*+ and B+ -> f0(980) K*+ with a sample…

Measurement of sigma(pp -> b anti-b X) at \sqrt(s)=7 TeV in the forward region

LHCb Collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +628

Decays of b hadrons into final states containing a D0 meson and a muon are used to measure the b anti-b production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass ene…

Evidence for B+ --> tau+ nu_tau decays using hadronic B tags

The BABAR Collaboration, P. del Amo Sanchez

We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. W…

Search for Production of Invisible Final States in Single-Photon Decays of Upsilon(1S)

P. del Amo Sanchez

We search for single-photon decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance, Upsilon->gamma+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs bo…

Asymptotic formulae for likelihood-based tests of new physics

Glen Cowan, Kyle Cranmer, Eilam Gross +1

We describe likelihood-based statistical tests for use in high energy physics for the discovery of new phenomena and for construction of confidence intervals on model parameters. W…

Search for b-->u transitions in B- --> DK- and B- --> D*K- Decays

The BABAR Collaboration, P. del Amo Sanchez et al.

We report results from an updated study of the suppressed decays B- to D K- and B- to D* K- followed by D to K+pi-, where D(*) indicates a D(*)0 or an anti-D(*)0 meson, and D* deca…

Correlated leading baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- --> ccbar --> Lambda_c+ antiLambda_c- X

The BABAR Collaboration, B. Aubert

We present a study of 649 \pm 35 e+e- --> ccbar events produced at sqrt{s}~10.6 GeV containing both a Lambda_c baryon and a Lambda_c antibaryon. The number observed is roughly four…

B-meson decays to eta' rho, eta' f0, and eta' K*

The BaBar Collaboration, P. del Amo Sanchez

We present measurements of B-meson decays to the final states eta'rho, eta'f0, and eta'K*, where K* stands for a vector, scalar, or tensor strange meson. We observe a significant s…
