FutureFuture

• more sin2 modes in preparation (J/K*, cKs,...)

• Run 2 has started in Feb. 2001 and should be endedin June 2002. Run1 + Run2 100 fb-1

• studies of decay modesfor other unitarity angles and analysis started

Conclusions (I)Conclusions (I)• From Oct. 99 to Nov. 2000, BaBar has recorded

22.7 106 BB pairs and a large sample of hadronic B decays has been fully reconstructed.

• High precision measurements of neutral/charged B lifetimes:

Conclusions (II)Conclusions (II)• First evidence of charmonium production in continuum• Precise measurements of exclusive charmonium decays

First observation of B0C1 K*0: Br(B0 c1 K*) = 4.8 1.4 0.9

• First observation of color suppressed mode: Br(B D*D*K) = (0.340.160.11)10-2

• Measurements of charmless 2-body decays: Br(B0 K) =(16.7 1.6 +1.2

Br(B0 ) =(4.1 1.0 0.7)10–6

Br(B+ ) =(5.1+2.0-1.8 0.8)10–6

• Radiative penguin decay: Br(B0 K*0) = (4.39 0.41 0.27) 10-5

ACP = -0.035 0.094 0.022• More statistics will permit to measure to improve the current

measurements and to access more rare channels!
