Over past several years, major changes have been made to order accommodate needs these user communities, efficiently exploit growth computing power available advances technology. The adaptation multithreading, detector modeling...
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-}$ using data from BABAR experiment. The sample, collected at center-of-mass energy of $Υ{(4S)}$ resonance, corresponds to a total integrated luminosity 424 fb$^{-1}$ and 471 million $B\overline{B}$ pairs. reconstruct one $B$ meson, produced in $Υ{(4S)}\rightarrow B^{+} B^{-}$ decay, many hadronic decay modes activity compatible with K^{+} τ^{+}τ^{-}$ rest event. Each $τ$ lepton is required...
A study of the two-body decays B^{±}→X_{cc[over ¯]}K^{±}, where X_{cc[over ¯]} refers to one charmonium state, is reported by BABAR Collaboration using a data sample 424 fb^{-1}. The absolute determination branching fractions for these are significantly improved compared previous measurements. Evidence found decay B^{+}→X(3872)K^{+} at 3σ level. fraction B[B^{+}→X(3872)K^{+}]=[2.1±0.6(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10^{-4} measured first time. It follows that B[X(3872)→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}]=(4.1±1.3)%,...
A dedicated measurement of additional radiation in e+e−→μ+μ−γ and e+e−→π+π−γ initial-state-radiation events is presented using the full BABAR data sample. For first time results are at next-to- next-to-next-to-leading order, with one two photons, respectively, for from initial final states. Comparison predictions phokhara afkqed Monte Carlo generators performed, revealing discrepancies one-photon rates angular distributions former. This disagreement has a negligible effect on e+e−→π+π−(γ)...
We study the processes $e^+ e^-\to K^0_S K^0_L\pi^0\gamma$, $K^0_S K^0_L\eta\gamma$, and K^0_L\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$, where photon is radiated from initial state, providing cross section measurements for hadronic final states over a continuum of center-of-mass energies. The results are based on 469~$fb^{-1}$ data collected at or near $\Upsilon(4S)$~ resonance with BaBar detector SLAC. present first K^0_L\pi^0$, K^0_L\eta$, K^0_L\pi^0\pi^0$ sections up to energy 4~GeV, their intermediate...
Axionlike particles (ALPs) are predicted in many extensions of the standard model, and their masses can naturally be well below electroweak scale. In presence couplings to bosons, these could emitted flavor-changing B meson decays. We report herein a search for an ALP, a, reaction B^{±}→K^{±}a, a→γγ using data collected by BABAR experiment at SLAC. No significant signal is observed, 90% confidence level upper limits on ALP coupling bosons derived as function mass, improving current...

A new mechanism has been proposed to simultaneously explain the presence of dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry in universe. This scenario predicts exotic $B$ meson decays into a baryon sector anti-baryon ($\psi_D$) with branching fractions accessible at factories. We present search for $B \rightarrow \Lambda \psi_D$ using data collected by $BABAR$ experiment SLAC. reaction is identified fully reconstructing accompanying requiring single $\Lambda$ remaining particles. No significant...

Using a sample of (470.9 +- 2.8) x 10^6 BB-bar pairs, we measure the decay branching fraction B(B^0 -> D^*- pi^+ pi^- pi^+) = (7.26 0.11 0.31) 10^-3, where first uncertainty is statistical and second systematic. Our measurement will be helpful in studies lepton universality by measuring tau^+ nu_tau) using nu-bar_tau decays, normalized to pi^+.
A new dark sector antibaryon, denoted ψD, could be produced in decays of B mesons. This Letter presents a search for B+→ψD+p (and the charge conjugate) e+e− annihilations at 10.58 GeV, using data collected BABAR experiment. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity 398 fb−1 are analyzed. No evidence signal is observed. Branching fraction upper limits range from 10−7–10−5 obtained 90% confidence level masses 1.0<mψD<4.3 GeV/c2. The result also reinterpreted provide first on...
Collider searches for dark sectors, new particles interacting only feebly with ordinary matter, have largely focused on identifying signatures of mediators, leaving much sector structures unexplored. In particular, the existence matter bound states (darkonia) remains to be investigated. This possibility could arise in a simple model which photon (A^{'}) is light enough generate an attractive force between fermions. We report herein search J^{PC}=1^{--} darkonium state, ϒ_{D}, produced...
