The B-factories have successfully exploited the unique advantages of the \Upsilon(4S) resonance to study many aspects of the B_d and B_u mesons. The \Upsilon(10860) resonance, also known as \Upsilon(5S), is above mass threshold for the B_s…

We have searched for B_{s}^{0}->hh decays, where h stands for a charged or neutral kaon, or a charged pion. These results are based on a 23.6 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector on the \Upsilon(5S) resonance at the KEKB…
From data collected around the Z resonance by the OPAL detector at LEP, a sample of Bs decays was obtained using Ds^-l^+ combinations, where the Ds^- was fully reconstructed in the phi pi-, K*0K- and Ks0K- decay channels or partially…
A search for Bs0-Bs0bar oscillations is performed using a sample of 400,000 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment. The Bs0 candidates are reconstructed in the Bs0 to Ds-,X channel with Ds- to phi,pi- or K*0K-. The Bs0…
Methods are proposed for measuring the ratio $R^{+/0} = \Gamma(\Upsilon(4S) \to B^+ B^-)/$ $\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S) \to \bo \ob)$ without assuming isospin invariance in exclusive hadronic decays such as $B \to J/\psi K$. The validity of isospin…
We report results based on a 1.86 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected on the $\Upsilon$(5S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The inclusive production of $D_s$, $D^0$ and $J/\psi$ mesons at the…
The branching fractions of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ inclusive decays into final states with a $J/\psi$ or a $\psi(2S)$ are measured with improved precision to be $\BR(\Upsilon(1S)\to J/\psi + {\rm anything})=(5.25\pm 0.13(\mathrm{stat.})\pm…
We present preliminary measurements of B meson decays to omegapi+, omegaK+, and omegaK0. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector and correspond to 88.9x10^6 BBbar pairs produced in e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We…
I derive the expressions for the CP-violating asymmetry arising from interference between mixed and direct decays in the Upsilon(4S) system, for the case in which only one of the B decay times is observed, integrating over the decay time of…
Although CP violation in the B meson system has been well established by the B factories, there has been no direct observation of time reversal violation. The decays of entangled neutral B mesons into definite flavor states ($B^0$ or…
We analyze the decay B0 -> K0s pi+ pi- using a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) -> BB decays collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. A maximum likelihood fit finds the following branching…
$BB$ pairs from $\Upsilon(4S)\to BB$ decays are in $C$-odd state. However, there is a small admixture of the $C$-even state and it modifies the time dependent $CP$-asymmetry. The $C$-even component appears due to soft photon emission,…
We have just entered an era of precision measurements for $B_s$-decay observables. A characteristic feature of the $B_s$-meson system is $B^0_s$--$\bar B^0_s$ mixing, which exhibits a sizable decay width difference. The latter feature leads…
The presence of a sizeable CP-violating phase in B_s^0-B_s^0-bar mixing would be an unambiguous signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyse various possibilities to detect such a new phase considering both tagged and untagged…

New physics contributions to B_s-\bar{B}_s mixing can be parametrized by the size (r_s^2) and the phase (2\theta_s) of the total mixing amplitude relative to the Standard Model amplitude. The phase has so far been unconstrained. We first…
