With a sample of approximately 89 x 10(6) B(-)B pairs collected with the BABAR detector, we perform a search for B meson decays into pairs of charmless vector mesons (phi, rho, and K*). We measure the branching fractions, determine the degree of longitudinal polarization, and search for CP violation asymmetries in the processes B+-->phiK(*+), B0-->phiK(*0), B+-->rho(0)K(*+), and B+-->rho(0)rho(+). We also set an upper limit on the branching fraction for the decay B0-->rho(0)rho(0).

Article Synopsis
  • The CMS experiment conducted a search for charge-parity violation in decays using proton-proton collision data from 2018, analyzing around 10 billion events with b hadrons decaying into charm hadrons.
  • The flavor of the neutral D meson was determined through the charge of pions in the reconstructed decays, and an asymmetry measurement in the decays was reported, taking into account various uncertainties.
  • This research marks the first asymmetry measurement by the CMS in the charm sector and the first to use a fully hadronic final state in such analyses.

We determine for the first time the renormalization-group equation for the three-particle B-meson soft function dictating the nonperturbative strong interaction dynamics of the long-distance penguin contributions to the double radiative B-meson decays. The distinctive feature of the ultraviolet renormalization of this fundamental soft function consists in the pattern of mixing positive into negative support for an arbitrary initial condition. The exact solution to this integrodifferential evolution equation is then derived with the Laplace transform technique, allowing for the model-independent extraction of the asymptotic behavior at large and small partonic momenta.

In this Letter we show that pseudoscalar meson leptonic decay data can be used to set stringent limits on the mass m_{W_{R}} of a right-handed vector boson, such as the one that appears in left-right symmetric models. We have shown that for a heavy neutrino with a mass m_{N} in the range 50 View Article and Find Full Text PDF
