Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present results from an analysis of B° ({bar B}°) →??− using 232 million?(4S) → B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure the longitudinal polarization fraction f{sub L} = 0.978 ± 0.014(stat){sub -0.029}{sup +0.021}(syst) and the CP-violating parameters S{sub L} = -0.33 ± 0.24(stat){sub -0.14}{sup +0.08}(syst) and C{sub L} = -0.03 ± 0.18(stat) ± 0.09(syst). Using an isospin analysis of B →?? decays we determine the unitarity triangle?. The solution compatible with the Standard Model is? = (100 ± 13){sup o}.
