Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry parameters S and C in neutral B decays to the [pi]{sup +-}[pi] CP eigenstate, and an updated preliminary measurement of the charge asymmetry in B 2!K{sup ±}[pi] decays. Event yields and CP-violation parameters are determined simultaneously from a multidimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit. In a data sample consisting of approximately 33 million [Upsilon](4S) 2!B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory, we find 6511{sup +12} [pi]{sup +-}[pi] and 217 ± 18 K{sup ±}[pi] candidates and measure S = 0.030{sup +0} ± 0.11, C = -0.25−0{sup +0} = -0.25−0{sup +0} ± 0.14, and = -0.07 {+-} 0.08 {+-} 0.02, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.
