The authors present a preliminary measurement of CP-violation parameters in the decay B° → KK−K{sub S}°, using approximately 465 million B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC. Reconstructing the neutral kaon as K{sub S}° →?+?− or K{sub S}° →?°?°, they analyze the Dalitz plot distribution and measure fractions to intermediate states. They extract CP parameters from the asymmetries in amplitudes and phases between B° and {bar B}° decays across the Dalitz plot. From a fit to the whole Dalitz plot, they measure?{sub eff} = 0.44 ± 0.07 ± 0.02, A{sub CP} = 0.03 ± 0.07 ± 0.02, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. For decays to?K{sub S}°, they measure?{sub eff} = 0.13 ± 0.13 ± 0.02, A{sub CP} = 0.14 ± 0.19 ± 0.02. For decays to f0K{sub S}°, they measure?{sub eff} = 0.15 ± 0.13 ± 0.03, A{sub CP} = 0.01 ± 0.26 ± 0.07. From a fit to the region of the Dalitz plot with m{sub K{sup +}K−}> 1.1 GeV/c2, they measure?{sub eff} = 0.52 ± 0.08 ± 0.03, A{sub CP} = 0.05 ± 0.09 ± 0.04.

We report a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B{sup 0} {yields} ({rho}{pi}){sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0} decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 347 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays, collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure 26 coefficients of the bilinear form factor terms occurring in the time-dependent decay rate of the B{sup 0} meson and derive the physically relevant quantities from these coefficients. In particular we find a three standard deviation evidence of direct CP-violation in the B{sup 0} {yields} {rho}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup {-+}} decays, with systematic uncertainties included. We also achieve a constraint of the angle {alpha} of the Unitarity Triangle. All results presented are preliminary.

The authors analyze the decay B° 2!KK−K° using 383 million B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC to extract CP violation parameter values over the Dalitz plot. Combining all KK−K° events, they find A{sub CP} = -0.015 ± 0.077 ± 0.053 and [beta]{sub eff} = 0.352 ± 0.076 ± 0.026 rad, corresponding to a CP violation significance of 4.8[sigma]. A second solution near [pi]/2 - [beta]{sub eff} is disfavored with a significance of 4.5[sigma]. They also report A{sub CP} and [beta]{sub eff} separately for decays to [phi](1020)K°, f0(980)K°, and K+K−K° with m{sub K{sup +}K−}> 1.1 GeV/c2.

We report a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B° → (??)° →??−?° decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 375 million?(4S) → B{bar B} decays, collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure 26 coefficients of the bilinear form-factor terms occurring in the time-dependent decay rate of the B° meson. We derive the physically relevant quantities from these coefficients. In particular, we measure a constraint on the angle? of the Unitarity Triangle.

The authors present a preliminary measurement of CP-violation parameters in the decay B{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sup 0}, using approximately 347 million B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC. Reconstructing the neutral kaon as K{sub S}{sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, K{sub S}{sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}, or K{sub L}{sup 0}, they analyze the Dalitz plot distribution and measure fractions to intermediate states. They extract CP parameters from the asymmetries in amplitudes and phases between B{sup 0} and {bar B}{sup 0} decays across the Dalitz plot. For decays to {phi}K{sup 0}, they find {beta}{sub eff} = 0.06 {+-} 0.16 {+-} 0.05, A{sub CP} = -0.18 {+-} 0.20 {+-} 0.10, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. For decays to f{sub 0}K{sup 0}, they find {beta}{sub eff} = 0.18 {+-} 0.19 {+-} 0.04, A{sub CP} = 0.45 {+-} 0.28 {+-} 0.10. Combining all K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sup 0} events and taking account of the different CP eigenvalues of the individual Dalitz plot components, they find {beta}{sub eff} = 0.361 {+-} 0.079 {+-} 0.037, A{sub CP} = -0.034 {+-} 0.079 {+-} 0.025. The trigonometric reflection at {pi}/2 - {beta}{sub eff} is disfavored at 4.6{sigma}. They also study angular distributions in B{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sub S}{sup 0} and B{sup +} {yields} {phi}K{sup +} decays and measure the direct CP asymmetry in B{sup +} {yields} {phi}K{sup +} decays, A{sub CP} = 0.046 {+-} 0.046 {+-} 0.017.

We present results for a time-dependent Dalitz plot measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in the mode B^0 --> pi^+ pi^- pi^0, dominated by B^0 --> rho^\pm pi^\mp (rho^\pm --> pi^\pm pi^0) decays. Our dataset is derived from the complete sample of 471 x 10^6 B-Bbar meson pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operating on the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We extract parameters describing the time-dependent B^0 --> rho pi decay probabilities and CP asymmetries, including C, DeltaC, S, and DeltaS, finding these measurements to be consistent with the results of previous analyses. Additionally, we present a two-dimensional likelihood scan of the direct CP-violation asymmetry parameters for B^0 --> rho^\pm pi^\mp decays, finding the results to be consistent with direct CP violation at ~ 2 sigma significance. Finally, we present information on the CP-violating parameter alpha, corresponding to an angle in the unitarity triangle associated with the CKM quark-mixing matrix. We perform a likelihood scan of alpha that incorporates constraints from B^\pm --> rho pi measurements by means of isospin relationships. A robustness study assessing the reliability with which alpha is extracted provides important insights into the interpretation of this result.
