  2. Outline • Testing models of hadronic B decays • Inclusive charm production in B decays • B0 Ds*+ D*- [and Ds  f p+] • B0  D(*)-pp+, B0  D(*)0pp • Exclusive B (cc) K(*), where cc = J/y,y(2S),cc • Charm and Charmonium Spectroscopy: • B decays to DsJ (2317) andDsJ (2460) • X(3872) For new results on B D(*)K(*) and B Ds+r - see L.Cavoto’s talk in the CP violation session All results are PRELIMINARY Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

  3. s’ c W - c b B- u u Inclusive charm Hadronization models (Heavy Quark Expansion) predict average charm multiplicity in B decays, nc  1.2-1.3 [Bagan et al. PLB351(1995) Buchalla and Dunietz, PLB364(1995) Neubert and Sachrajda, Nucl.Phys.B483(1997)] • We define: • Flavor correlated charm • production from dominant • bc transition • Flavoranti-correlated charm • production from W- cs’ decay [charge-conjugation implied everywhere] Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

  4. Inclusive charm: a new experimental method • Full reconstruction of one B = Breco • Charm hadron searched for in rest of event, fully reconstructed and correlated with charge of parent B = Brecoil • We correct for: mixing in the B0 sample and background from B0 (B+) in the B+ (B0) sample Breco D0 K Y(4S) B B : p B+ (#) p, r,a1 Y(4S) e- e+ D+, D0, Ds,Lc B-   X Brecoil (# at the time of Breco decay only, for neutral B) Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

  6. Inclusive charm: branching fraction B- recoil N(B+RECO) = 85840 ± 1910 B0 recoil N(B0RECO) = 48322 ± 590 • First measurement of • D+s correlated • Sizeable Lc • production Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

  7. Inclusive charm: nc0, nc- • We findno evidence of • B-Lc+Lc-K looking at the missing mass distribution (obtained from the B 4-momentum, a K and a reconstructed Lc or Lc) • We estimate • B(B-c X) = B(B-Lc- X) - B(B-Lc+ Lc-K)  B(B-Lc- X) • B(B-c X) neglected • Using B(B-(cc) X) = (2.3 ± 0.3) %, we determine separately for the first time: B0 B- Previous results (hep-ex/0112028) 1.175 ± 0.042 (CLEO) 1.230 ± 0.042 (LEP+SLD) 1.206 ± 0.033 (Average) Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

B0 Ds*+ D*- • New measurement of B(B0 Ds*+ D*-) • Experimental test of factorization at high q2 values:q2~m2(Ds*+) • New measurement of B(Ds+ f p+) used to normalize other Ds+ branching fractions • The present ~25% uncertainty B(Ds+f p+ )= (3.6 ± 0.9)%(CLEO) propagates to all analyses where a Ds(*) is reconstructed Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar

  9. B0 Ds*+ D*-: method • With a partial reconstruction technique, determine B1 = B(B0 Ds*+ D*-) • Fully reconstruct final state with Ds+f p+ and measure B2 = B (B0 Ds*+ D*-) x B (Ds+ f p+) • B (Ds+ f p+)= B2/B1. Many systematics cancel in the ratio. Stefania Ricciardi, BaBar
