We present measurements of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurement uses a data sample of 23 million Upsilon(4S)-->B-anti-B decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we find events where one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a CP eigenstate containing charmonium and the flavor of the other neutral B meson is determined from its decay products. The amplitude of the CP-violating asymmetry, which in the Standard Model is proportional to sin2beta, is derived from the decay time distributions in such events. The result is sin2beta=0.34 +/- 0.20 (stat) +/- 0.05 (syst).

Study of $\Lambda^0_b \to \Lambda D$ decays with the rescattering mechanism
hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

Rescattering enhances the anti-D0 Lambda branching fraction by two orders of magnitude and produces large direct CP asymmetries (0.28 and -0.14) in Lambda_b to Lambda D channels.
