Abstract:

This document describes the measurements of the branching fractions and isospin violations of the radiative electroweak penguin decays B [right arrow] ([rho]/[omega]) [gamma] at the asymmetric energy e+e- PEP-II collider with the BABAR detector. Together with the previously measured branching fractions of the decays ... the ratio of CKM-matrix elements Vtd=Vts are extracted and the length of the far side of the unitarity triangle is determined.
