B Meson Decays to Open Charm and Charmonium at BABAR

Description

Since it began recording data in 1999, the BaBar detector at the SLAC B Factory has collected nearly 90 million B meson pairs. Using this sample, they are able to make precise measurements of B decays to open charm and charmonium. In particular, they have measured the rates for B → D(bar D)K, for the color-suppressed modes B0 → D0π0, B0 → D0η, and B0 → D0ω, for B+ → χc0K+, and for B0 → D(*)s+ D*-. They have also begun preparations for a measurement of the CKM angle γ by studying the modes B+ → D0K+, B0 → D(*)s+ π-, and B0 → D(*)s+ K-
