We present evidence for ${D}^{0}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}{\overline{D}}^{0}$ mixing in ${D}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decays from $384\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ colliding-beam data recorded near $\sqrt{s}=10.6\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We find the mixing parameters ${x}^{\ensuremath{'}2}=[\ensuremath{-}0.22\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.30(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.21(\mathrm{syst})]\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ and ${y}^{\ensuremath{'}}=[9.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}4.4(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.1(\mathrm{syst})]\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ and a correlation between them of $\ensuremath{-}0.95$. This result is inconsistent with the no-mixing hypothesis with a significance of 3.9 standard deviations. We measure ${R}_{D}$, the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored decay rates, to be $[0.303\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.016(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.010(\mathrm{syst})]%$. We find no evidence for $CP$ violation.

This paper reports measurements of processes: ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}{K}_{S}^{0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$, ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$, ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\eta}$, and ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\phi}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$. The initial-state radiated photon allows to cover the hadronic final state in the energy range from thresholds up to $\ensuremath{\approx}4.6\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. The overall size of the data sample analyzed is $232\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, collected by the BABAR detector running at the PEP-II ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ storage ring. From the Dalitz plot analysis of the ${K}_{S}^{0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$ final state, moduli, and relative phase of the isoscalar and the isovector components of the ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}K{K}^{*}(892)$ cross section are determined. Parameters of $\ensuremath{\phi}$ and $\ensuremath{\rho}$ recurrences are also measured, using a global fitting procedure which exploits the interconnection among amplitudes, moduli, and phases of the ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}_{S}^{0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$, ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$, $\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\eta}$ final states. The cross section for the OZI-forbidden process ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\phi}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$, and the $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ branching fractions to $K{K}^{*}(892)$ and ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\eta}$ are also measured.

We present a study of the decays ${B}^{0,+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\omega}{K}^{0,+}$ using $383\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ $B\overline{B}$ events obtained with the BABAR detector at PEP-II. We observe $Y(3940)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\omega}$, with mass ${3914.6}_{\ensuremath{-}3.4}^{+3.8}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.0(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$, and width ${34}_{\ensuremath{-}8}^{+12}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. The ratio of ${B}^{0}$ and ${B}^{+}$ decay to $YK$ is ${0.27}_{\ensuremath{-}0.23}^{+0.28}(\mathrm{stat}{)}_{\ensuremath{-}0.01}^{+0.04}(\mathrm{syst})$, and the relevant ${B}^{0}$ and ${B}^{+}$ branching fractions are reported.

We present a study of resonances in exclusive decays of $B$ mesons to ${\overline{D}}^{(*)}{D}^{(*)}K$. We report the observation of the decays $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{D}}^{(*)}{D}_{s1}^{+}(2536)$ where the ${D}_{s1}^{+}(2536)$ is reconstructed in the ${D}^{*0}{K}^{+}$ and ${D}^{*+}{K}_{S}^{0}$ decay channels. We report also the observation of the decays $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\psi}(3770)K$ where the $\ensuremath{\psi}(3770)$ decays to ${\overline{D}}^{0}{D}^{0}$ and ${D}^{\ensuremath{-}}{D}^{+}$. In addition, we present the observation of an enhancement for the ${\overline{D}}^{*0}{D}^{0}$ invariant mass in the decays $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{D}}^{*0}{D}^{0}K$, at a mass of $({3875.1}_{\ensuremath{-}0.5}^{+0.7}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ with a width of $({3.0}_{\ensuremath{-}1.4}^{+1.9}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.9)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ (the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic). Branching fractions and spin studies are shown for the three resonances. The results are based on $347\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $B$ factory.
