The authors present measurements of the branching fraction and CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B[sup 0] [yields] f[sub 0](980)K[sub S][sup 0]. The results are obtained from a data sample of 123 x 10[sup 6] [Upsilon](4S) [yields] B[bar B] decays. From a time-dependent maximum likelihood fit they measure the branching fraction [Beta](B[sup 0] [yields] f[sub 0](980)([yields][Pi][sup +][pi][sup 0])K[sup 0]) = (6.0 [+-] 0.9 [+-] 0.6 [+-] 1.2) x 10[sup -6], the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S = 1.62[sub -0.51][sup +0.56] [+-] 0.09 [+-] 0.04 and the direct CP violation parameter C = 0.27 [+-] 0.36 [+-] 0.10 [+-] 0.07, where the first errors are statistical, the second systematic and the third due to model uncertainties. They measure the f[sub 0](980) mass and width to be m[sub f[sub 0(980)]] = (980.6 [+-] 4.1 [+-] 0.5 [+-] 4.0) MeV/c[sup 2] and [Lambda][sub f[sub 0(980)]] = (43[sub -9][sup +12] [+-] 3 [+-] 9) MeV/c[sup 2], respectively.

The authors present preliminary measurements of the branching fraction and the CP-violating charge asymmetry in the B[sup +] --> K[sup 0][pi][sup +] decay, and a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the B[sup 0] --> K[sup 0][bar K][sup 0] decay. No evidence of direct CP violation in the B[sup +] --> K[sup 0][pi][sup +] mode is observed. The B[sup 0] --> K[sup 0][bar K][sup 0] measurement constitutes the first observation of this decay channel: the probability of obtaining the result assuming the null-signal hypothesis is 3.4 x 10[sup -6]. The authors have also searched for the B[sup +] --> [bar K][sup 0]K[sup +] decay and set an upper limit on its branching fraction at 2.35 x 10[sup -6] at the 90% C.L. The branching-fraction measurements reported here are consistent with previous measurements of the same quantities, but are extracted from a data sample larger by a factor of 2.6.

The authors present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries in decays of B mesons to two-body final states containing a K[sup 0]. The results are based on a data sample of approximately 88 million [Upsilon](4S) [yields] B[bar B] decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC.

The purpose of this analysis is the simultaneous measurement of the branching fraction, the longitudinal-polarization component, and the direct-CP-violating charge asymmetry for the B --> vector-vector decay mode B[sup +] --> K*[sup 0][rho][sup +], which has previously not been seen experimentally. The measurement of the polarization of the penguin decay is of special interest. There is no tree contribution to the decay amplitude and only a very small annihilation process. The polarization of the B[sup +] --> K*[sup 0][rho][sup +] decay mode can be compared to that already measured for the similar penguin decay B --> K*[phi].

The authors have reconstructed B[sup -] --> D[sup 0]K[sup -] decays with D[sup 0] mesons decaying to non-CP (K[sup -][pi][sup +]), CD-even (K[sup -]K[sup +], [pi][sup -][pi][sup +]) and CP-odd (K[sup 0][sub s][pi][sup 0]) eigenstates. They have measured the CP asymmetries A[sub CP[sup +]] = 0.40 [+-] 0.15(stat) [+-] 0.08(syst), A[sup CP[sup -]] = 0.21 [+-] 0.17(stat) [+-] 0.07(syst), and the double ratio of branching fractions R[sub +] = 0.87 [+-] 0.14(stat) [+-] 0.06(syst), R[sub -] = 0.80 [+-] 0.14(stat) [+-] 0.08(syst). These results improve the previous existing measurements from BABAR. All results presented in this document are preliminary.
