We have shown earlier that, contrary to popular belief, Einstein--de Sitter (E--deS) models can still fit the {\sl WMAP} data on the cosmic microwave background provided one adopts a low Hubble constant and relaxes the usual assumption that…
We present an updated determination of the values of $\vert V_{cb} \vert$, $R(D^*)$ and $\vert V_{ub} \vert/\vert V_{cb} \vert$ based on the new data on semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays by the Belle and Belle-II Collaborations…

A new resonance structure at M = 355 \pm 6 \pm 9 MeV is observed in the invariant mass spectrum of two gamma-quanta produced in the reaction d + C => gamma + gamma + x at momentum 2.75 GeV/c per nucleon. Preliminary estimates of its width…

The cross sections for e+e- to pi+pi-J/psi, pi+pi-psi(2S), K+K-J/psi, DDbar, DDbar pi, D*Dbar, and D*D*bar are measured using data sample collected on or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25…
At Moriond 2019, Belle collaboration announced their new measurements on $R_D$ and $R_{D^*}$ which are in agreement with their Standard Model (SM) predictions within $1.2\sigma$. After inclusion of these measurements, the discrepancy…
We present relativistic $N$-body simulations of a $\Lambda_{\rm s}$CDM - sign-switching cosmological constant (CC) - scenario under general relativity and compare its nonlinear matter power spectrum to $\Lambda$CDM at ${z =…
The large-scale maximum at k~0.05 identified in the power-spectrum of galaxy fluctuations provides a co-moving scale for measuring cosmological curvature. In shallow 3D surveys the peak is broad, but appears to be well resolved in 1D, at…
Leptonic and semi-leptonic $D$ decays at BESIII contribute the most precise experimental measurement of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ and form factor $f_{D_{(s)}}$ in the world based on 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ and 3.19 fb$^{-1}$ data taken at center-of-mass…
We present a measurement of the hadronic invariant mass squared (M^2_X) spectrum in charmed semileptonic B meson decays B --> X_c l nu based on 140 fb^-1 of Belle data collected near the Y(4S) resonance. We determine the first, the second…

It is shown that the Lambda(c+)-Lambda(c-) signal recently reported by the Belle Collaboration (ARXIV:0807.4458) contains clear signs of the psi(5S) and the psi(4D) c-cbar vector states, and also some indication for the masses and widths of…
We present a measurement of the $B^{0} \rightarrow D^{*-} \ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) branching ratio and of the CKM parameter $|V_{cb}|$ using signal decays accompanied by a fully reconstructed $B$ meson. The Belle II data set of…
Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we have studied the angular distributions in the decay Lambda_c^+ to Lambda e+ nu_e. By performing a four-dimensional maximum likelihood fit, we extract the form factor ratio, R =…
The CKM angle $\phi_3$ is less precisely known than the angle $\phi_1$ and the only one that is accessible with tree-level decays in a theoretically clean way. The key method to measure $\phi_3$ is through the interference between $B^+\to…
