Both experiments CDF and D0 at the Tevatron collider have now the first samples of B_s particles where preliminary measurements are performed. The mass and lifetime measurements are presented and the yield for the hadronic B_s decays, the…
The CLEO collaboration has studied two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons into final states containing two pseudo-scalar mesons, or a pseudo-scalar and a vector meson. We summarize and discuss results presented during the…
The interplay of experiment and theory is explored in the context of current data on b and c decay. Measurements of |Vcb| and |Vub| are extracted from existing data. Conservative estimates give |Vcb|=(42.4 +/- 1.2{exp} +/- 2.3{thy})x10^{-3}…

With 6.2 fb^-1 of data collected on the Upsilon(4S), Belle reports its first measurement of sin 2\phi_1 = 0.45^{+0.43}_{-0.44}(stat)^{+0.07}_{-0.09}(sys). The result was obtained by fitting the proper time distribution of flavor tagged and…
We present a search for the decay B -> tau nu in a 140 fb^-1 data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric B factory. Combinatorial and continuum backgrounds are suppressed by selecting a…
Recent results include the measurement of B->D(*)pi+pi-pi-pi0 decays, with rates of ~1.8% observation of a significant omega pi^- substructure that appears to result from the decay of the rho' resonance, whose mass and width we determine as…

We present a study of three B0 decay modes useful for time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements. From a sample of 9.7 million B meson pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we have reconstructed B0 -> J/psi K0S, B0 -> chi_c1 K0S, and B0 ->…
