 Babar's enduring appeal - The Boston Globe
BABAR, the storybook elephant created by the artist Jean de Brunhoff, reached the venerable age of 75 this year.
I pulled it out of storage the other day and was once again captivated by the simple plot: Babar is living idyllically in the jungle with his mother, until she is killed by a hunter.
Perhaps Babar's quick recovery from his mother's death and his success in both the city and the elephants' country offer young readers hope that they, too, can master their new environments.

 The New York Review of Books: The Royal Family
Babar's history began in Paris in 1931, when the pianist Cecile de Brunhoff invented a bedtime story about a baby elephant for her sons, who were then five and six years old.
As in Babar the King (1933), the inhabitants all have different and appropriate trades: the pelican, with his large beak, is a postman; the pheasants are tailors; the long-legged flamingo and stork are dancers; the parrot and the peacock are actors; the vulture is a butcher; and chickens manage the dairy.
This is true: Babar's mother is shot by a hunter, the previous king of the elephants dies by eating a poisoned mushroom, and soldiers are wounded in battle.

 Who was Babar?
This should have been the end of Babar as a ruler, except for the fact that Babar was 'made out of steel,' a trait that was to surface again and again in later Mughal rulers in the form of military genius and administrative skills.
Babar was encouraged to invade India by Daulat Khan Lodhi, the Muslim Governor of Punjab, and by Rana Sanga, the Hindu Rajput ruler of Mewar, both of whom Babar was to fight later on and defeat.
The fear of Muslims is not the destruction of Babar's heritage, but the beginning of a process of Hindu fanaticism, which aims to destroy whatever has been built by Hindu-Muslim interaction in medieval India, which in itself provides a fitting edifice of secularism in modern India and is loved and admired by all fair-minded Indians.

 UMass at BaBar
Although the B-factory and the BABAR detector are being optimized for the study of b quark states (B and anti-B mesons) produced in asymmetric energy e+e- interactions near the Upsilon(4s) resonance, the machine is also well suited for the study of charm quark states (charged and neutral D mesons), Tau leptons, and 2-photon interactions.
BABAR offers a very clean environment to search for charm mixing in the mode e+e- to D0, D+, X with the D0 decaying via K, e, neutrino (a mode free from doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed background) and the D+ decaying via K-, pi+, pi+ (a mode with unambiguous particle ID) used to tag the initial charm flavor.
BABAR should be able to greatly extend these searches, many of which depend on electron identification in the calorimeter.

 BaBar experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BaBar (B and B-bar) experiment is an international collaboration of more than 550 physicists and engineers investigating CP-violation effects using the BaBar particle detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, which is operated by Stanford University in California.
Analysis of the BaBar results showed this was not the case — in the summer of 2002, definitive results were published based on the analysis of 87 million B/B-bar meson-pair events, clearly showing the decay rates were not equal.
Experiment is named after the B and B-bar (anti-B) particles it is investigating and the name is a reference to Babar the Elephant which has been chosen as the mascot.

In the original books, Babar was an ordinary elephant who was orphaned at a young age and went to seek his fortune in the city before he returned and was chosen to be king.
But Babar is still a unique and moving tale that will continue to entertain the masses of children for years and years to come.
