We present measurements of branching fractions and CP asymmetries of several B- -> D(*)0 K(*)- decays, with the D(*)0 decaying to CP-even, CP-odd, and flavor eigenstates, that can constrain the CP angle gamma as well as the amplitude ratio…

We argue that the observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry A_{CP} in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, A_{CP} can be calculated reliably and is found to be below 1% in…

I review the recent progress in computing inclusive B decay widths and spectra and its implications on the interpretation of measurements from the B factories. I discuss the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay, B -> X_u l nu, which…

I examine a possibility to extract the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle by the inclusive $B \to X_d \l^+ \l^- $ decay. An independent information for the angle is expected from the non-trivial contribution…

The direct CP-violations in $SU(2)_{L}\times SU(2)_{R} \times U(1)$ model and two-Higgs doublet extension of the standard model for $b \to d\gamma$ and $b \to s\gamma$ decays are investigated. The calculated value of CP-asymmetry for these…

We study the decay modes of B_{s}^{0}(\bar{B}_{s}^{0})-->D_{s}^{\pm} K^{\mp}, B_{s}^{0}(\bar{B}_{s}^{0})-->D^{\pm} \pi^{\mp} and B^{0}(\bar{B}^{0})-->D^{\pm} \pi^{\mp} in the perterbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization, including…

We measure the branching fraction for the Singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\,K^0_S\,\pi^+\pi^-$, and we search for $CP$ violation via a measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry $A^{}_{CP}$ and also the $T$-odd triple-product…

We report measurements of the radiative decay B --> K^*\gamma. The analysis is based on a data sample containing 85.0*10^6 B meson pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB storage ring. We measure branching fractions of Br(B^0 -->…

The branching fractions of the decays B->K*0,gamma and B->K*+,gamma are measured using a sample of 88 x 10^6 B\bar{B} events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We find B(B->K*0,gamma) = 3.92…

In the supersymmetric standard model, the radiative $B$-meson decay $B \to X_s \gamma$ could receive a large contribution from a new source of flavor-changing neutral current, which also violates CP invariance. The CP-conjugate processes…

We measure the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^{0}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta$, $D^{0}\to K^{+}K^{-}\eta$, and $D^{0}\to\phi\eta$, using 980 fb$^{-1}$ of data from the Belle experiment at the…

We discuss an improved theoretical description of the semi-inclusive B meson decays $B\to K(K^*)X$. The decay distributions are calculated. Their branching ratios are found to be appreciable. The CP asymmetries in the neutral B modes…

The measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ decays is sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. To translate this measurement into a constraint on new physics, it is…
