A Measurement of the t Leptonic Branching Ratios at BaBar
 Paul McGrath 

Abstract

A preliminary measurement of the t leptonic branching ratios is presented from an analysis of data taken in 2000 by the BaBar experiment. The potential of the BaBar experiment to make competitive measurements of the t leptonic branching ratios is demonstrated. The systematic limitations to the measurements presented are described, and suggestions for improving on the precision are made. 

An account of online software enabling operation of the calorimeter trigger within the context of the BaBar core data acquisition software is presented. Object oriented techniques have been used in the software design. The software implementation for an example diagnostics run for the calorimeter trigger is described to demonstrate the application of these techniques.
