In a wide class of models -- including the standard model -- flavor-changing neutral currents are suppressed by an approximate chiral symmetry of the low-energy lagrangian. This symmetry allows the derivation of general relations among…
We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D^+ and D^+_s mesons to final states of the form h^+- e^-+ e^+, where h is either \pi or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm…
We reconstruct the charmonium mesons J/psi, psi(2S) and chi_C1 using a sample of 8.46 x 10^6 B-anti-B events collected by the BABAR detector operating at e^+e^- center of mass energies near the Y(4S) resonance. By measuring rates relative…

We present the first measurement of the $B^0\to X_{u}^- \ell^+ {\nu_\ell} $ partial branching fraction in the end-point region of the lepton momentum spectrum, above the threshold for $B\to X_c\ell {\nu_\ell}$ decays. The analysis is based…
We report a first measurement of inclusive B -> X_s eta decays, where X_s is a charmless state with unit strangeness. The measurement is based on a pseudo-inclusive reconstruction technique and uses a sample of 657 x 10^6 BB-bar pairs…
We present a measurement of the ratio of partial branching fractions of the semi-leptonic inclusive decays, $\overline{B} \to X_{u} \ell \overline{\nu}$ to $\overline{B} \to X_{c} \ell \overline{\nu}$, where $\ell = (e, \mu)$, using the…
We show that the leading-power $B$ meson wave function can be extracted reliably from the photon energy spectrum of the $B\to\gamma l\nu$ decay up to $O(1/m_b^2)$ and $O(\alpha_s^2)$ uncertainty, $m_b$ being the $b$ quark mass and…
We compute the inclusive decay rates $b \to D_s^-(D^{*-}_s) c$ including lowest order QCD corrections on the quark legs, and compare with existing data. Unlike the short distance QCD corrections, that are of higher order, these corrections…

Inclusive radiative decays $B_c\to\gamma u\bar{d}$ are considered. It is shown that photon emission allows one to bypass the chiral suppression and leads the increase of the branching fraction by about four orders of magnitude. The…
