Measurement of Branching Ratios and CP Asymmetries in B − →

We present preliminary results of the analysis of B → Dh decays, with h = π,K and the D reconstructed in the channelsKπ, Kπππ, Kππ and in the CP eigenstate KK, using data collected by the BABAR detector during the years 2000-2002 at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We have measured the ratio of the branching fractions R ≡ B(B − → DK) B(B− → Dπ) = (8.31 ± 0.35 ± 0.20)% and the direct CP asymmetry ACP ≡ B(B− → D CPK)− B(B+ → D CPK+) B(B− → D CPK−) + B(B+ → D CPK+) = 0.17 ± 0.23 −0.07 .
