| ABSTRACT: |
The SLAC B-factory has recorded 391 fb-1 of data using
the BaBar detector and the PEP-II asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider.
This talk summarises BaBar's measurements of the charmless
hadronic B meson decays to the pipi, rhopi and rhorho
final states. Using isospin symmetry, it is possible to relate the
CP-asymmetry measurements in these decays to the
Unitarity Triangle angle alpha. This talk concludes
with a summary of BaBar's measurements of this angle. |
