We present a search for the radiative leptonic decays B+ -> e+ nu gamma and B+ -> mu+ nu gamma using data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in Upsilon(4S)…
We study the bottomonium spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark model with the coupled-channel effects. The mass shifts and valence $b\bar{b}$ component are evaluated to be rather large. We find that the hadronic loop effects can be…
The status of analysis of processes with hard photon emitted from the initial state (ISR) at BABAR is presented. We tag events by the presence of a hard photon in the detector, then reconstruct mu+mu- and several exclusive hadronic final…
We will present the most recent results on leptonic B decays $B^{\pm(0)} \to K^{* \pm (0)} \nu \bar{\nu}$ and $B^{\pm} \to \mu^{\pm} \nu$, based on the data collected by the BaBar detector at PEP-II, an asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider at the…
During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $\psi^{'}$ and $\psi(3770)$ coming from BESII and CLEOc and many new discoveries coming from B-factories.…
New Babar results on exclusive e+e- -> hadrons reactions at low c.m. energy with a baryon-antibaryon or K\bar{K} pair in the final state are presented. Cross sections are measured using the initial state radiation technique from the…
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (b-bbar) states other than the dipion transitions among upsns states. In our study of Y(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Y(3S) ->…

We present measurements of B-meson decays to the final states eta'rho, eta'f0, and eta'K*, where K* stands for a vector, scalar, or tensor strange meson. We observe a significant signal or evidence for eta'rho+ and all the eta'K* channels.…
The newly found states Y(4260), Y(4361), Y(4664) and Z$^\pm$(4430) stir broad interest in the study of spectroscopy in a typical charmonium scale. The Y(4260) which was observed earlier has been interpreted as hybrid, molecular state, and…
Based on background measurements at PEP II the impact of machine-related backgrounds on individual components of multipurpose detectors is examined, that operate in an asymmetric B factory at luminosities up to 10^{36} cm^{-2} s^{-1}.…
The analysis uses data from an integrated luminosity of approximately 172 pb-1 of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The Lambda_b and B0 relative branching fractions are…
We report evidence for exclusive two-body charmless hadronic B meson decays B-> eta' pi, and improved measurements of B-> eta' K. The results are obtained from a data sample of 386 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance,…

In this contribution, we discuss our recent unquenched quark model results for the spectrum of $b \bar b$ mesons with self energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. Our unquenched quark model predictions for the…
