"For his role in the development of the tools needed for the analysis of B factory data, including the tFIT program, a unique and comprehensive fitting framework for time-dependent analyses. The tools he developed played a key role in the observation of CP violation in the B system by the BaBar collaboration. These tools will be essential
to the ongoing program of work as the B factories continue to probe the origins of CP violation."

BaBar Physics Highlights: Towards Precise Measurement of Angle
• In absence of Penguin contributions, can measure CKM angle from B0+ - or + -
• BaBar measurements show that B0+ - is most suited for measuring since
– Penguin pollution is more under control (limits on B00 0, B-- 0)
– The decay is dominated by one helicity amplitude well defined CP state
– Rate is reasonably large; first observation by BaBar (2003)

Physics Analysis Focus of The UCSD-BaBar Group
UCSD-Babar group led the measurements of sin2 from B charmonium modes between 1998-2003. These measurement has now become “routine”. UCSD group has moved on more challenging measurements.
With the large data set BaBar is accumulating our major physics focus is now on:– Search for the decay B0 D0 K0 and measurement of CKM
angle by time-dependent CP asymmetry. – Developing massive samples of fully reconstructed B mesons
for Recoil side B meson decay studies. The aim is to measure CKM element Vub from inclusive and exclusive bu l decays
– Probe CP violation in Penguin decays such as
– Measurement of production ratio

UCSD Physics Activities On Babar
• Vivek Sharma (PI) : – led, as co-convener, the BaBar physics group on Exclusive B decays to Open
charm ( BRECO group) between 1999 –July 2004. All analyses involving exclusive hadronic B Charm reconstruction are developed in this group. Guided thru publication 9 PRL, 2 PR(D)RC and 2 PR(D) articles and multiple conference papers including 11 papers at ICHEP04 in Beijing.
• Physics goals of the BRECO group include:– exploration of decay modes capable of measuring CKM angle and sin2+– Decay dynamics in hadronic B decays to charm– Spectroscopy of new charm mesons from their production in B decays– Develop large sample of fully reconstructed B mesons for measuring
inclusive properties of the recoiling B meson. This paradigm shifting enterprise is already contributing to several key measurements in B decays such as Vub and measurement of photon spectrum in b s decays .
• Breco group oversees the physics analysis of about 80 BaBar physicists from US, France, Italy and Germany. It is one of the largest analysis groups in Babar.
– Guiding role in BaBar observation of CP violation (sin2) in BJ/K0 . Main author of the 2001 and 2002 PRLs on measurement of Sin2
– Member (since 2002) of the Babar Publication Board.

UCSD Physics Activities On Babar
• Shahram Rahatlou (Post-doc):
– Major contributions to BaBar observation of CP violation in B decays to charmonium (e.g. BJ/K0). Tools and samples he developed (BrecoUser, tFIT etc) are still used in many CP violation studies. Awarded The 2004 APS Tanaka prize for the best PhD thesis at a US university or Laboratory.
– BaBar Event Reconstruction Manager since Jan 1, 2004. • The reco manager is Responsible for development and deployment of the common aspects
of reconstruction, including the reconstruction geometry & alignment calibration model & code, the overall organization of reconstruction executables, and the reco infrastructure packages. He is responsible for the system-specific aspects of the reconstruction code to the level desired by the specific system managers. The reco manager is responsible for the technical aspects of the reco software within the five systems and their integration into the whole.
• Shahram brings a unique and comprehensive knowledge of Babar analysis tools, computing and physics to this job. His leadership has been crucial in ensuring prompt and high quality event reconstruction and allowed BaBar to analyze the data collected till the end of Run 4 in mid July and present results based on it at the Beijing ICHEP04 in mid-August !
– Developing the time-dependent CP asymmetry analysis of B0 D0 K0 for measurement of sin2+ and . First results presented at ICHEP04 (hep-ex/0408052 ).

New Idea: Measurement of |Vub| From Semileptonic B Decays recoiling against (large samples of) Fully Recostructed B mesons
Capitalizes on UCSD Expertise in B meson Reconstruction (Breco Samples SemiExcl Samples)
Measurement of | Vub | From Inclusive and Exclusive Final States
26
• Hermiticity, so vital for SL measurements is not the best feature of Belle/ Babar detectors due to intrusion of machine into detector
• But B-factory detectors recording ever increasing samples of BB pairs (> 250 Million BB recorded already 1000 Million soon)– At the price of modest efficiency (4%), can fully reconstruct one B decay into all
hadronic final states (Breco) and examine the other (recoiling) B decay • This “Recoil side” studies perfectly suited for many Vxb studies • Much “cleaner” and more powerful than neutrino reconstruction a la CLEO • This is the most promising way for the future Vub and other Semileptonic
measurements

Approach similar to the inclusive analysis but
resonances are exclusively and fully reconstructed on recoil side.
We measure, very cleanly and over large kinematic range:

As Lattice calculations become more robust, measurement of B l rate over large kinematic range may lead to one of the best measure Vub precisely.

CPV In Pure s-Penguin Decay B0KS KS KS
• New probe of CPV in s-penguin decays, clean signal
• Perform Ks and B vertexing using 5 layer Silicon tracker (technique pioneered by BaBar and tested on BKs0
sample). Often one of three Ks decays inside SVT.
• Reconstructed B vertex resolution sufficient for time-dependent CPV measurement a la B J/ KS
• First analysis of its kind, currently “blind”, expect public results and publication by early 2005.
• CPV precision expected to be statistics limited, will improve with rapidly accumulating BaBar data
