We find evidence for the semileptonic baryonic decay $B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e,\mu$), based on a data sample of 772 million $B\bar B$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
We study semileptonic decays $B^\pm \to \eta^{(\prime)} l \nu$, which are suggested to be used to extract the hadronic form factors of $B$ meson decays to $\eta(\eta^{\prime})$ and the angle of $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing. This would be of…
The energetic exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of B mesons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model within the factorization approximation. The heavy quark expansion is used for the calculation of form factors.…
I briefly review the theoretical status of semileptonic and radiative B decays in 2005.
The B-meson system is an interesting probe for the exploration of strong interactions, the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model, and the search for new physics. In this programme, non-leptonic B decays, which are particularly…
In consistency with the b --> c type of (quasi) two body decays, recently observed two body decays of B mesons are studied in a hybrid perspective in which their amplitude is given by a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones, and a…
The present status of lattice calculations of $f_D$, $f_B$ and some mass splittings are discussed. When one includes the uncertainties due to discretization errors, the results do not yet have a sufficient precision to be relevant to…
We report our ongoing lattice QCD study of radiative leptonic decays of the charged pseudoscalar mesons $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_c \to \ell \nu_\ell \gamma$. We carry out our analysis on a single JLQCD ensemble with lattice spacing…
We present a short review on the recent progresses that have been made in meson spectroscopy. We discuss the experimental discoveries made at the BaBar and Belle experiments, as well as the possible interpretations of the new resonances.
We present results for the semi-leptonic and leptonic decays of B mesons. These non-perturbative matrix elements are important for constraining the CKM matrix. Results are presented for the pseudoscalar and vector decay constants, as well…
High Luminosity upgrades of the KEK-B collider are being discussed. We consider the role of the purely leptonic decays B^\pm -> l^\pm nu and B^0 -> l+l- in motivating such an upgrade. These decays are very sensitive to R parity violating…
We have studied radiative B meson decays into higher kaonic resonances decaying into a two-body or three-body final state, using a data sample of 21.3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. For…
We summarize recent results by the BABAR and Belle Collaborations on the search for CP violation and new physics beyond the Standard Model in several rare B meson decays. The measurements exploit the final BABAR and Belle Upsilon(4S)…
We review the physics of rare, leptonic, and hadronic decays of charmed mesons based on the results submitted to this conference (EPS 95, Brussles).
The paper summarizes recent results from the Belle and Belle II collaborations on semileptonic $B$ decays measurements including inclusive and exclusive determination of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$…
We summarize the status of semileptonic and leptonic $B$ decays, including $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ exclusive and inclusive determinations, decays to excited states of the charm meson spectrum and decays into $\tau$ leptons.
Many extensions of the Standard Model include the possibility of light new particles, such as light Higgs bosons or dark matter candidates. These scenarios can be probed using the large datasets collected by B factories, complementing…
We discuss the potential of $\tau$-charm and B factories for the search of new physics through the study of rare $\tau$ decays. We consider decays that involve the violation of lepton flavour conservation. Such decays bear a close…
Some selected topics involving photonic and leptonic rare B decays are reviewed. The interest in their measurement for the CKM phenomenology is underlined. They are also potentially interesting in searching for physics beyond the standard…
I present the results of searches for B meson decays into two charmless mesons. I take into account final states made up of two pseudo-scalar (PP) or one pseudo-scalar and one vector (PV). The measurements use the data samples collected and…
