Exclusive measurements of b → sγ transition rate and photon energy spectrum

2012 
We use 429  fb^(-1) of e^+e^- collision data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector to measure the radiative transition rate of b→sγ with a sum of 38 exclusive final states. The inclusive branching fraction with a minimum photon energy of 1.9 GeV is found to be B(B → X_sγ)=(3.29±0.19±0.48)×10+(-4) where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also measure the first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum and extract the best-fit values for the heavy-quark parameters, m_b and μ_π^2, in the kinetic and shape function models.
