Recently, the Belle Collaboration has updated the analysis of the cross sections for the processes $e^+ e^- \to \Upsilon(nS)\, \pi^+ \pi^-$ ($n = 1,\, 2,\, 3$) in the $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energy range from 10.52 to 11.02~GeV. A new…
The radiative decays $ B^{*} (D^{*})\to B(D) \gamma$ are investigated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules. The transition amplitude and decay rates are estimated.It is shown that our results on branching ratios of D meson decays…
This paper presents simple analytic approximations to the linear power spectra, linear growth rates, and rms mass fluctuations for both components in a family of cold+hot dark matter (CDM+HDM) models that are of current cosmological…
We use a recent lattice determination of the vector and axial $D_s \to \gamma$ form factors at high squared momentum transfer $q^2$ to infer their $B_s \to \gamma$ counterparts. To this end, we introduce a phenomenological approach…
A search for mixing in the neutral D meson system was performed using semileptonic D^0 -> K- e+ nu decays. The flavor of neutral D mesons at production was tagged by the charge of the slow pion from the decay D*+ -> D^0 \pi+. The…
We report measurements of the rectification of microwave radiation (0.7-20 GHz) at the boundary between two-dimensional electron systems separated by a narrow gap on a silicon surface for different temperatures, electron densities and…
We report measurements related to hadronic $B$ decays to final states that contain charm mesons. The analyses are performed on a $62.8~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data set collected by the Belle II experiment at a center-of-mass energy corresponding…
One of the most tantalizing results from the WMAP experiment is the suggestion that the power at large scales is anomalously low when compared to the prediction of the ``standard'' Lambda-CDM model. The same anomaly, although with somewhat…
For a tight binding model with nearest neighbour attraction and a small orthorhombic distortion, we find a phase diagram for the gap at zero temperature which includes three distinct regions as a function of filling. In the first, the gap…
The lattice dynamical properties of Li$_x$BC are calculated for several values of $x$ using density functional perturbation theory. We find that the electron-phonon coupling parameter $\lambda$ increases monotonically with decreasing $x$ to…
Using Regge calculus, we construct a Regge differential equation for the time evolution of the scale factor $a(t)$ in the Einstein-de Sitter cosmology model (EdS). We propose two modifications to the Regge calculus approach: 1) we allow the…
We give results for the $B$ and the $D$ meson spectrum using NRQCD on the lattice in the quenched approximation. The masses of radially and orbitally excited states are calculated as well as $S$-wave hyperfine and $P$-wave fine structure.…
We report a determination of the CKM angle $\phi_{3}$, also known as $\gamma$, from a combination of measurements using samples of up to 711~fb$^{-1}$ from the Belle experiment and up to 362~fb$^{-1}$ from the Belle II experiment. We…
An intense X wave propagating perpendicularly to dc magnetic field is unstable with respect to a parametric decay into an electron Bernstein wave and a lower-hybrid wave. A modified theory of this effect is proposed that extends to the…
Spectroscopy of a $^{10}_{\Lambda}$Be hypernucleus was carried out at JLab Hall C using the $(e,e^{\prime}K^{+})$ reaction. A new magnetic spectrometer system (SPL+HES+HKS), specifically designed for high resolution hypernuclear…
We analyze the possibility of using observational data on nearby dwarf galaxies -- their luminosity functions and spatial distributions -- to constrain deviations of the cosmological power spectrum from the standard one. Specifically, we…
The various decay modes of the type $B \to \gamma D^* $ are dynamically different. In general there are factorizable contributions, and there are pole diagrams and pseudoscalar exchange contributions at meson level. The purpose of this…
The spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background blackbody spectrum in a radially inhomogeneous spacetime, designed to exactly reproduce a LambdaCDM expansion history along the past light cone, is shown to exceed the upper bound…
A resonance-like structure in the $\pi^\pm \psi(2S)$ mass spectrum arising in $B \to K \pi^\pm \psi(2S)$ has recently been reported. It is noted that the mass of this structure, $4433 \pm 4 \pm 1$ MeV, is not far from the threshold for…
We studied radiative B meson decays with the Belle detector. We measured the following branching fractions; Br(B->K*0(892)\gamma) = (49.6 \pm 6.7 \pm 4.5) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->K*+(892)\gamma) = (38.9 \pm 9.3 \pm 4.1) x 10^{-6}, Br(B->Xs\gamma)…
