A binning scheme is proposed for $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+ $ phase space that will improve the sensitivity of a $B^- \to DK^-$ analysis to the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Unitarity Triangle. The scheme makes use of…

The system of $B^0_s\to D_s^\mp K^\pm$ decays offers a theoretically clean determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle. A corresponding LHCb analysis resulted in a surprisingly large result, which is in tension with other…

We briefly review the status of rare radiative and semileptonic $b \to s (\gamma, \ell^+ \ell^-)$, ($\ell=e,\mu$) decays. We discuss possible signatures of new physics in these modes and emphazise the role of the exclusive channels. In…

Using the CLEO~II detector at CESR, we have measured the ratio of branching fractions ${\cal B}(D_s^+ \to \phi e^+ \nu)/{\cal B}(D_s^+ \to \phi\pi^+) = 0.54\pm 0.05\pm 0.04$. We use this measurement to obtain a model dependent estimate of…
