In this report, we present a preliminary measurement of the Bs0 mixing parameter using samples of four partially reconstructed semileptonic Bs0 decays and one fully reconstructed hadronic decay mode, corresponding to approximately 2.4…

We report a search for $B$ decays to selected final states with the $\eta_c$ meson: $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\omega$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\eta$ and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^0$. The analysis is…

b to s transitions are flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes that play an important role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Contributions from virtual particles in the loop are predicted to deviate…

We report on a search for D0-D0B mixing made by studying the `wrong-sign' process D0->K^+pi^-. The data come from an integrated luminosity of 9.0 1/fb of e^+e^- collisions at s^(1/2) of approximately 10 GeV recorded with the CLEO II.V…

We report results from a search for the decay Bs --> mu+ mu- using 1.3/fb of pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)= 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We find two candidate events, consistent with the expected…

We investigate the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing through the doubly Cabibbo suppressed (DCS) channel $D^0\to f_0(980)K^{*0}$ and its charge conjugate channel, in which the $K^{*0}$ meson is reconstructed in both $K^+\pi^-$ and $K_S\pi^0$ final…

The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…

We report on an improved study of $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)0} \bar{K}^{(*)0}$ decays, based on $274 \times 10^6$ $B{\bar B}$ events collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. The following branching fractions have been measured: ${\cal…

The presently available high-statistics data of the D0 --> K0S pi+ pi- processes measured by the Belle and BABAR Collaborations are analyzed within a quasi two-body QCD factorization framework. Starting from the weak effective Hamiltonian,…

In this note we discuss a determination for the mass of the Ds(0+,1+) system recently discovered by the BaBar, CLEO II and Belle Collaborations. The value of the mass is derived by making explicit the prediction obtained in a quark-meson…

The formulae for D^0-\bar{D}^0 or B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and CP violation at the \tau-charm or B-meson factories are derived, for the case that only the decay-time distribution of one D or B meson is to be measured. In particular, we point…

We present recent results from the BABAR collaboration of the time-dependent analysis of B0 meson decays to KsKsKs, the Dalitz-plot analysis of B0->K+K-Ks and the time-dependent CP asymmetry of partially reconstructed B0->D*+D*- decays.

We report measurements of B meson decays to two kaons using 250/fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider. We find evidence of signals in B+ -> K0(bar) K+ and B0 -> K0 K0(bar) with…

We present a search for the decay B^0 --> pi^0 pi^0 by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory at SLAC. Using approximately 88 million B bar{B} pairs collected between 1999 and 2002, we place a 90% confidence level…

We report search results for the flavor-changing neutral current process b --> d gamma with a data sample containing 274 million B meson pairs accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We studied the…

Mixing and CP violation in charm meson decays provide a unique probe of possible physics beyond the standard model. In this paper, we give a brief review of the current measurements from the BABAR experiment.

We present a search for the decays B0->e+e-, B0->mu+mu-, and B0->emu in data collected at the Upsilon(4S) with the BABAR detector at the SLAC B Factory. Using a data set of 54.4 fb-1, we find no evidence for a signal and set the following…

The D^0-D^0(bar) mixing is analyzed in a weak gauged U(4)_L x U(4)_R chiral lagrangian model where the electroweak interaction is introduced as a gauge theory over the meson degrees of freedom. This model allows a particular realization of…
