We present preliminary results on the branching fractions $BF(B^0\to D_s^{\ast+} D^{\ast-})$ and $BF(D_s^+\to\phi\pi^+)$, based on a data sample of approximately $124\times10^6$ \BB events collected by the \babar detector at the PEP-II $e^+…

Experiment 865 at the Brookhaven AGS obtained 410 K+ -> e+ nu e+e- and 2679 K+ -> mu+ nu e+e- events including 10% and 19% background. The branching ratios were measured to be (2.48+-0.14(stat.)+-0.14(syst.))x10^-8 (m_ee>150 MeV) and…

We consider the hadronic B decays B0bar -> D0 eta, B0bar -> D*0 eta, B0bar -> D0 eta', B0bar -> D*0 eta' in the framework of a quark-flavour basis and factorization. The formalism allows to compute the decays to the eta meson and to relate…
