BABAR has studied the time dependent asymmetries in the decays B° → J/ψK{sub s}° and B° → ψ(2S) K{sub s}° in a data set of 9.0 fb⁻¹ taken at the Υ(4S) resonance. In these channels we reconstruct 168 events of which 120 are flavor tagged and used in a likelihood fit where we determine sin 2β. The flavor of the other neutral B mesons is tagged using information primarily from identified leptons and Kaons. A neural network is used to recover events without any clear Kaon or lepton signature. A preliminary result of sin 2β = 0.12 ± 0.37 ± 0.09 is obtained.
