We report on a direct measurement of the mixing parameter y=(3.42+-1.39+-0.74)% in the D0-D0bar system by measuring the lifetime difference between the CP mixed final state K^+pi^- and the CP even state K^+K^-. We also present a study of…
We propose a new method to determine the mass and width differences of the two D meson mass-eigenstates as well as the CP violating parameters associated with D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing. We show that an accurate measurement of all the mixing…
We report on analyses of $B^-$ mesons decaying into $D^{*+}\pi^-\pi^-$ and $D^+\pi^-\pi^-$ final states using 89 million $B^-$ decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory. Preliminary measurements are…
Recent measurements of hadronic branching fractions of D and Ds mesons, performed by the BaBar and Belle experiments at the asymmetric e+e- B factories colliders PEP II and KEKB, are reviewed.
We propose a new method to extract $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters using the $D^0 \to \bar{K}{}^0 \pi^0$ decay with the $\bar{K}{}^0$ reconstructed in the semileptonic mode. Although a $K^0 \to \pi^\pm l^\mp \nu_l$ decay suffers from low…
The decays B0 --> D*+D*-, B0 --> D*+D- and B0 --> D+D- are studied in 9.7 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays accumulated with the CLEO detector. We determine Br(B0 --> D*+D*-) = (9.9+4.2-3.3+-1.2)e-4 and limit Br(B0 --> D*+D-) < 6.3e-4 and…
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays D0\to mu+mu- and D0\to e+e-, and for the lepton-flavor violating decays D0\to e\pm mu\mp using 660 fb^-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e-…

We argue that a small or large CP-violating asymmetry {\cal A}_{\psi K_S} in B^0_d vs \bar{B}^0_d --> J/\psi K_S decays, which seems to be favored by the recent BaBar or Belle data, might hint at the existence of new physics in B^0_d -…
The two $B$-factories, Belle and BaBar, has been played major roles in the B decays study. Their wonderful design and excellent operation enables their fruitful analysis results. Also recently the Tevatron experiments, CDF and DO, join the…
We discuss prospects for detecting the two charm-related phenomena of $D^0$-${\bar D}^0$ mixing and weak radiative decays of $D$ mesons ({\it e.g.} $D\to K^* + \gamma$). A general update of particle-antiparticle mixing for the pseudoscalar…
