We study the EPR correlation implied by the entangled wavefunction of the $B^0\bar{B}^0$ pair created by the $\Upsilon $(4S) resonance. The analysis uses the basis provided by the mass eigenstates $B_1,B_2$ rather than the flavour states…
We present branching fraction and CP asymmetry results for a variety of B decays based on up to 56.4 fb^-1 collected by the BaBar experiment running near the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II e+e- B-factory.
Threshold enhancements predicted by the Resonance-Spectrum-Expansion (RSE) production amplitude and observed by the BaBaR Collaboration in open-bottom production above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold, as well as by several collaborations in…
A mechanism of baryogenesis and dark matter production via $B$-meson oscillations and decays has recently been proposed to explain the observed dark matter abundance and matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. This mechanism introduces…
Recent data from Belle show unusually large partial widths Upsilon(5S) --> Upsilon(1S) pi^+pi^- and \Upsilon(5S) --> \Upsilon(2S) pi^+ pi^-. The Z(4430) narrow resonance also reported by Belle in psi' pi^+ spectrum has the properties…
We report the first evidence for the eta_b(2S) using the h_b(2P)->eta_b(2S)gamma transition and the first observation of the h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma and h_b(2P)->eta_b(1S)gamma transitions. The mass and width of the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S)…
We study the near-threshold $\Upsilon(1S)$ meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant (${\gamma}p \to {\Upsilon(1S)}p$, ${\gamma}n \to {\Upsilon(1S)}n$) and two-step resonant (${\gamma}p \to…
The observed cross sections for $e^+e^-\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ at energies from 3.8 to 4.6 GeV are measured using data samples taken with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider. We measure the muonic widths and determine the…
Data on e+e- -> piplus-piminus-Upsilon(1S,2S,3S) show a large increase in branching fractions near Upsilon(10860). A suggestion of Ali et al. is to interpret this as evidence for a tetraquark, Yb(10890) = b-bbar. However, it may also be…
By fitting the R values between 3.7 and 5.0 GeV measured by the BES collaboration, the upper limit of the electron width of the newly discovered resonance Y(4260) is determined to be 580 eV at 90% C.L. Together with the BABAR measurement on…
The dielectron widths of $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,...,7)$ and vector decay constants are calculated using the Relativistic String Hamiltonian with a universal interaction. For $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3)$ the dielectron widths and their ratios are…
We present preliminary measurements of the B meson decay B0 -> a1(1260)+ pi-, with a1(1260)+ --> pi+ pi+ pi-. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at PEP II and correspond to 218 million BBbar pairs produced in e+e- annihilation…
We have studied Bs0 -> Ds- pi+ and Bs0 -> Ds^(-/+) K^(+/-) decays using 23.6 /fb of data collected at the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. This highly pure Bs0 -> Ds- pi+ sample is used to measure the…
We report the observation of a new $D_{sJ}$ meson produced in $B^{+} \to \bar{D}^{0} D_{sJ} \to \bar{D}^{0} D^{0} K^{+}$. This state has a mass of $M=2708 \pm 9 ^{+11}_{-10} \rm{MeV}/{\it c}^{2}$, a width $\Gamma = 108 \pm 23 ^{+36}_{-31}…
Time-dependent B0-anti-B0 flavor oscillations are studied in e+e- annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We report a preliminary result for the time-dependent…

Bottomonium-like resonances Zb(10610) and Zb'(10650) are good candidates of hadronic molecules composed of BBbar* (or B*Bbar) and B*Bbar*, respectively. Considering Zb (Zb') as heavy meson molecules, we investigate the decays of Zb(')^+ ->…
