[PEPII]

BaBar detector was built at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) one of the world's leading research laboratories. SLAC is established in 1962 and is located at Stanford University in California. SLAC has been recognized internationally with more than 3,000 visiting scientists from international research communities. The work has been recognized with three Nobel Prizes in physics.

The main goal of the BaBar experiment in the systematic study of CP asymmetries in the decays of neutral B mesons in order to express the degree of the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the nature. In the beginning of this year, BaBar collaboration has discovered a new charm particle as an evidence for the identification of a new subatomic particle named Ds(2317). A range of other physics may also be studied at BaBar as an important input in the Standard Model such as the physics of charm, tau leptons and two-photon physics.

The University of Mississippi High Energy (UMHEP) group played an important role both for hardware and software. Within BaBar, UMHEP consists of four professors: Prof. Cremaldi is the Principal Investigator, Prof. Summers, Prof. Kroeger, and Prof. Reidy that currently on leave at the DOE. We had four major physics analyses near completion: Rare B decays (Dr. Bauer), Semileptonic B decays (Dr. Godang), Hadronic B decays (Dr. Zhao) and Dj spectroscopy (V. Eshenburg). Our group is heavily involved a studying of energy deposition algorithms for the electromagnetic calorimeter (Prof. Kroeger) and Study of radiation damage effects on CsI(TI) crystals (Prof. Reidy). We are also actively responsible for studying the computing area, RAID (Dr. Sanders), performing low-energy gamma ray calibration of electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) (Dr. Bauer), Monte Carlo simulation and skimming production (Dr. Godang) and checking problematic channels in the EMC and data quality control (Dr. Zhao).
