Recent Results from the BaBar experiment

Abstract
We present an overview of some of the most recent results from the BABAR experiment. We discuss the latest measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates, that in the Standard Model (SM) is proportional to sin 2b. We present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons, that are related to the angle of the Unitarity Triangle. We also report the B0 lifetime measurement obtained from studing the B0 >D*-p+ and B0 >D*-r+ decay channels and the B0 >D*-a1+ branching fraction, obtained using a partial reconstruction technique. These measurements serve as a test and validation of the procedures required to measure the combination of CKM Unitarity Triangle angles sin (2b + g ).
