Based on the full BABAR data sample, we report improved measurements of ratios R(D(*))=B(B[over ¯]→D(*)τ(-)ν[over ¯](τ))/B(B[over ¯]→D(*)ℓ(ℓ)(-)ν[over ¯](ℓ)), where ℓ is either e or μ. These are sensitive to new physics contributions in form a charged Higgs boson. We measure R(D)=0.440±0.058±0.042 and R(D(*))=0.332±0.024±0.018, which exceed standard model expectations by 2.0σ 2.7σ, respectively. Taken together, our results disagree with these at 3.4σ level. This excess cannot be explained...

We have observed a narrow state near 2.32 GeV/c2 in the inclusive D+sπ0 invariant mass distribution from e+e− annihilation data at energies 10.6 GeV. The width is consistent with experimental resolution. small intrinsic and quantum numbers of final indicate that decay violates isospin conservation. has natural spin-parity low suggests JP=0+ assignment. sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity 91 fb−1 recorded by BABAR detector SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy storage ring.Received 11...

Dark sectors charged under a new Abelian interaction have recently received much attention in the context of dark matter models. These models introduce light mediator, so-called photon (A′), connecting sector to standard model.

We report a revised determination of charmed-D-meson absolute branching fractions based on complete reconstruction DD¯ events at the ψ(3770). Two backgrounds, Cabibbo-suppressed and multi-π0 D decays, are addressed in detail. The first measurement decay D0→K−π+π0π0 establishes sensitivity to hitherto unobserved modes. Removal both backgrounds reduces values our previously reported by (21-24)%, leaving their ratios largely unchanged. new unable account fully for deficit charm production...
