Rivet analyses

Helicity angle in B⁺ → ωK⁺

Experiment: BABAR (PEP-II)

Inspire ID: 754030

Status: VALIDATED NOHEPDATA

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Rev.D 76 (2007) 031103

Beams: * *

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - Any process producing B mesons, originally Upsilon(4S) decays

Measurement of the helicty angle in B⁺ → ωK⁺ decays. The data were read from Figure 1d in the paper and backgrounds given subtracted. The mass distributions are not implemented due to resolution effects.
