Abstract
The BaBar detector at SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B-Factory has collected between 1999 and 2002 a data sample of 88 millions \(\Upsilon (4S) \to \ensuremath{B\bar{B}}\) decays. We present here recent measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries of neutral B mesons decays to several CP eigenstates. We present the results on the decays to \((c \bar{c})\) K0 S / K0 L , which are related in the Standard Model to the angle β of the Unitarity Triangle of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix. Moreover we present the branching fractions and the CP-asymmetries of charmless two body decays related to the angle α.
