A study of the potential of the BABAR detector at PEP II to measure CP violation using the vector-vector channel B[sup 0] [yields] D*[sup +]D*[sup -] is presented. The decay mode, although not a CP eigenstate, is sensitive to the angle [beta] of the unitarity triangle, a fundamental measure of CP violation in the neutral B system. The decay mode B[sup 0] [yields] D*[sup +]D*[sup -] is reconstructed in a variety of channels and a study of the separation of the CP eigenstate contributions and extraction of the angle [beta] is presented. The contribution of this channel is compared with other similar channels, and the overall prospects for measuring the angle [beta] in the first years of BABAR running is summarized.

The authors present measurements of the CP-violation parameters S and C for the radiative decays B° →?°K{sub S}°? and B° →?K{sub S}°?; for B →?K? they also measure the branching fractions and for B →?K+? the time-integrated charge asymmetry A{sub ch}. The data, collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, represent 467 x 106 B{bar B} pairs produced in e+e− annihilation at the PEP-II collider. In this summary they present an updated measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B° →?°K{sub S}°? decay mode and the first measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B° →?K{sub S}°? decay mode. Hadronic corrections in B° →?°K{sub S}°? decay mode might permit S to be as large as ± 0.1. Such corrections and NP effects could depend on m(?°K{sub S}°), so they split the data into two parts: the K*(892) region with 0.8
The BABAR experiment at SLAC provides an opportunity for measurement of CP violation in B decays. A measurement of time-dependent CP violating asymmetries using exclusive B meson decays where the b quark decays to c{bar c}d (including B° 2!D*D*− and B° 2!D*{sup ±}D{sup {-+}} decays) is presented here. This is the first measurement of CP violation in a mode sensitive to the Unitarity Triangle parameter sin2[beta] outside of decays containing charmonium. It provides a comparison to measurements of sin2[beta] using b 2!c{bar c}s, and permits an observation into potential new physics sources of CP violation, such as supersymmetry, via differences between these measurements and those of B° 2!J/[psi] K{sub S}° as statistics of reconstructed neutral B decays to D{sup (*)+} D{sup (*)-} increase. The measured value of the time-dependent CP violating asymmetries are: S = 0.38 ± 0.88(stat) ± 0.12(syst) and C = -0.30 ± 0.50(stat) ± 0.13(syst) for B° 2!D*− D; S = -0.43 ± 1.41(stat) ± 0.23(syst) and C = 0.53 ± 0.74(stat) ± 0.15(syst) for B° 2!D*+ D−; and S = -0.05 ± 0.45(stat) ± 0.05(syst) and C = 0.12 ± 0.30(stat) {+-} 0.05(syst) for B° 2!D*− D+; where S corresponds to CP violation in the interference of mixing and decay and C corresponds to CP violation in decay.
The BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC collected a sample of 23 x 10[sup 6] B[bar B] pairs in the years 1999 and 2000. Using this data sample, we measure the amplitude of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in neutral B decays to the CP eigenstates J/[psi] K[sub S][sup 0], [psi](2S) K[sub S][sup 0] and J/[psi] K[sub L][sup 0]. We find a value of sin2[beta]= 0.34[+-] 0.20(stat)[+-] 0.05(syst). We also present preliminary measurements of the B[sup 0][bar B][sup 0] oscillation frequency and of the lifetimes of charged and neutral B mesons.
We present new measurements of CP asymmetries in B° → (c{bar c})K{sup 0(*)} decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC between 1999 and 2004. We determine sin2[beta] from decay-time distributions of 7730 signal events in a data sample of approximately 227 x 106 [Upsilon](4S) → B{bar B} decays. The measured value of sin2[beta] = 0.722 ± 0.040(stat) ± 0.023(syst) is in agreement with the value expected from the Standard Model. In a separate time-dependent angular analysis of B → J/[psi] K*° (K*° → K{sub S}°[pi]°) decays we measure cos 2[beta] to be positive at 86% CL.
We report the observation of CP violation in the B[sup 0] meson system. Using a novel technique for time-dependent measurements, we measure a non-zero value for the CP-violating amplitude sin2[beta] at the 4.1[sigma] level. We also report on precision measurements of the B[sup+] and B[sup 0] lifetimes and the B[sup 0][bar B][sup 0] mixing frequency[Delta]m[sub d] obtained with the same technique, and on a first measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating amplitude in B[sup 0][yields][pi][sup+][sup -] decays.
This thesis describes a high-quality, high-precision method for the data analysis of an interesting elementary particle reaction. The data was collected at the Japanese B-meson factory KEKB with the Belle detector, one of the most successful large-scale experiments worldwide. CP violation is a subtle quantum effect that makes the world look different when simultaneously left and right and matter and antimatter are exchanged. This being a prerequisite for our own world to have developed from the big bang, there are only a few experimental indications of such effects, and their detection requires very intricate techniques. The discovery of CP violation in B meson decays garnered Kobayashi and Maskawa, who had predicted these findings as early as 1973, the 2008 Nobel prize in physics. This thesis describes in great detail what are by far the best measurements of branching ratios and CP violation parameters in two special reactions with two charm mesons in the final state. It presents an in-depth but accessible overview of the theory, phenomenology, experimental setup, data collection, Monte Carlo simulations, (blind) statistical data analysis, and systematic uncertainty studies.
During the first year of data taking, the 1999-2000 run, the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric collider has collected an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1 corresponding to 22.7 million B{bar B} pairs at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance. Using this data, we present the measurement of sin2[beta] based on samples of B° → J/[psi] K{sub S}°, B° → [psi](2S) K{sub S}° and B° → J/[psi] K{sub L}° L decays. Our measured value is sin2[beta] = 0.34 ± 0.20 (stat) ± 0.05 (syst). In addition we report on the measurement of branching fractions for exclusive B decays to charmonium final states, measurements of charged and neutral B meson lifetimes and also the B°{bar B}° oscillation frequency.
