Search for B+ → K+ t+ t- : Signal Selection
• Continuum backgrounds are suppressed using |cosqT|, the cosine of the opening angle between the tag B thrust and the rest-of-the-event thrust• All signal-side event
selection is done subsequent to applying the |cosqT| selection

Search for B0 → gg : p0, h Vetos
• Signal candidate photons (g) are paired with lower energy photons (g’) in an event, and the pair’s invariant mass M(gg’) and the soft photon’s energy E(g’) are used to construct a likelihood ratio with 2-d correlated likelihoods for signal events and background events obtained from simulated event samples

Search for B0 → gg : Fit Method• Signal yield is extracted using a two-dimensional unbinned extended
maximum likelihood fit in mES and ΔE
• Three components in fit
• (1) Signal: pdf shapes from simulated events, normalization floated
• (2) Combinatoric Background: shape and normalization floated
• (3) Peaking Background: pdf shape and normalization from simulated events
• All signal PDF parameters are fixed in the fit
• Peaking background shape and yield are fixed in the fit

Summary
• Two new Babar results shown• First limit on B+ → K+t+t-
• BF(B+ → K+ t+ t-) < 0.0033% (90% CL)• Improvement of B0 → gg upper limit by a factor of
two• BF(B0 → )<gg 3.2 x 10-7 (90% CL)
• Further progress in these modes only possible at a high-luminosity B Factory
• B+ → K+t+t- sensitive to LFV effects, NMSSM• B0 → gg can probe B meson QCD dynamics and
provides a clean way to access |Vtd/Vts|• B → K*l+l- currently being updated to full Babar
dataset• Results will be reported in a manner allowing
trivial combination with recent Belle and CDF results
