The clean environment of the e+e- collisions provided by the B-factory PEP-II and the high performances of the BABAR detector allow for precise measurements of the properties of inclusive hadron production. We present recent results obtained using the full data sample of nearly 500 fb-1 on measurements of the inclusive light hadrons momentum spectra, and on anti-deuteron production from decays of bottomonium states, and from continuum e+e- annihilation. We also present a measurement of the azimuthal asymmetries induced by the Collins effect in inclusive production of pion pairs in e+e- → ππX annihilation, where the two pions are produced in opposite hemispheres.

We report on a study of B mesons decaying into one of the narrow P -wave charm resonances, [Formula: see text] and D1(2420)0. Our preliminary results are based on 89 million [Formula: see text] pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. Our study will be useful in the investigation of the properties of Heavy Quark Effective Theory.

The transverse momentum spectra of [Formula: see text] mesons, protons and antiprotons produced in proton–proton collisions at 200 GeV with hadron production models are reported. Two tunes of EPOS (EPOS1.99 and EPOS-LHC), three tunes of QGSJET (QGSJETI, QGSJETII-03, QGSJETII-04), DPMJET and HIJING models are used to obtain the spectra. The results are compared with the measurements of STAR collaboration obtained at mid-rapidity of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] range of [Formula: see text]. All models reproduce the ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at low [Formula: see text] but could not predict well at high [Formula: see text]. In addition, EPOS tunes and QGSJET tunes predict well the spectra of [Formula: see text] meson and the ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at low [Formula: see text]. The HIJING and the QGSJET (tune I only) could reproduce all the spectra and all the ratios at a satisfactory level of precision and were found good among the models considered in the current study at RHIC energy.

We present a search for the decay B+ → τ+ντ in [Formula: see text] decays recorded with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed exclusive semi-leptonic B decay [Formula: see text] is selected, and in the recoil a search for B+ → τ+ ντ signal is performed. The τ is identified in the following channels: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We find no evidence of signal, and we set a preliminary upper limit on the branching fraction of [Formula: see text] at the 90% confidence level (CL). This result is then combined with a statistically independent BABAR search for B+ → τ+ντ to give a combined preliminary limit of [Formula: see text] at 90% CL.

We review the recent progress on the calculations on the inclusive forward hadron production within the saturation formalism. After introducing the concept of perturbative parton saturation and nonlinear evolution we discuss the formalism for the forward hadron production at high energy in the leading and next-to-leading order. Numerical results are presented and compared with the experimental data on forward hadron production in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We discuss the problem of the negativity of the NLO cross-section at high transverse momenta, study its origin in detail and present possible improvements which include the corrected kinematics and the suitable choice of the rapidity cutoff.

We present preliminary results on the branching fractions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], based on a data sample of approximately [Formula: see text] events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e-B–factory. We reconstruct B0 mesons using both a partial and a full reconstruction technique. We obtain the following preliminary results: [Formula: see text] where the first error in each measurement is statistical, the second systematic.

The e+e- annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B decays to [Formula: see text] and D*± mesons. The production fraction of inclusive [Formula: see text] and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive decays [Formula: see text] have been identified with a partial reconstruction technique and their branching fractions have been measured. We also report branching fraction measurements for the exclusive hadronic modes B0 → D*- π+ and B0 → D*- ρ+.
