The two B^0 decay processes B^0 --> D^{*-}pi^+ and B^0 --> D^{*-}l^+nu have been studied by means of a partial reconstruction technique using a data sample collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring. To increase…

We revisit our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 95, 096014 (2017)] where neutrino oscillation and nonoscillation data were analyzed in the standard framework with three neutrino families, in order to constrain their absolute masses and to probe…

The available data on the a0(980), f0(980), f0(1300) and K*0(1430) mesons are fitted as a distorted 0++ nonet using only 6 parameters and a very general model. This includes all light two-pseudoscalar thresholds, constraints from Adler…

We present preliminary results of searches for exclusive $B^0$ decays to $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ among 22.7 million $b\bar{b}$ pairs collected by the BABAR experiment from electron-positron collisions near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. We measure…

The measurement by the BES collaboration of J/psi -> gamma p pbar decays indicates an enhancement at the p-pbar threshold. In another experiment BES finds a peak in the invariant mass of pi-mesons produced in the possibly related decay…

Using a sample of 3.7 x 10^6$ Upsilon(4S) -> B Bbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring, we search for the electroweak penguin decays B+ -> K+ e+ e-, B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 -> K*0 e+ e-, and B0 -> K*0 mu+ mu-.…

We study the $D_s^+\to \pi^+(a_0(980)^0\to)\pi^0\eta$, $\pi^0(a_0(980)^+\to)\pi^+\eta$ decays, which have been recently measured by the BESIII collaboration. We propose that $D_s^+\to \pi^{+(0)}(a_0(980)^{0(+)}\to)\pi^{0(+)}\eta$ receives…

We report a search for the charmless hadronic decay $B^0\to\eta \pi^0$ with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 694 $\rm fb^{-1}$ containing $753\times10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs. The data were collected by the Belle…

We measure the mass difference, \Delta m_0, between the D*(2010)+ and the D0 and the natural line width, \Gamma, of the transition D*(2010)+ -> D0 pi+. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies at and near…

We summarize the main features of the spectroscopy, production and decays of the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ tetraquarks in the $b\bar{b}$ sector, concentrating on the lowest state called $Y_b(10890)$. The tetraquark framework is used to analyze the…

We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0 --> phi K0, K+ K- Ks, f0(980) Ks, eta' Ks, omega Ks, Ks pi0, and K*0 gamma (K*0 --> Ks pi0) decays based on a sample of 275 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S)…

We investigate the decays of $\bar{B}^0_s$, $\bar{B}^0$ and $B^-$ into $\eta_c$ plus a scalar meson in a theoretical framework by taking into account the dominant process for the weak decay of $\bar{B}$ meson into $\eta_c$ and a $q\bar{q}$…

Using 385 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collisions at the CM energies of around 10.6 GeV recorded by the BaBar experiment, we study the amplitudes of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D^0 --> K^- K^+ pi^0. We measure the strong phase difference between…
