Scientific paper

Continuum events represent an eminent source of background in any e+e- experiment. As these have a higher branching ratio than BB events (at BaBar this ratio is estimated to about 3.5) or τ+τ- events, efficient continuum background suppression is essential in many analyses. Using Artificial Neural Networks and the Nearest Neighbor Method we developed several selectors which, based only on the global event shape variables, efficiently tag BB events and τ+τ- events against the continuum background. These selectors could then be combined with the channel specific information in various types of analyses. The study was done using a parametric Monte Carlo.
