Flow cytometry measurements are widely used in diagnostics and medical decision making. Incomplete understanding of sources of measurement uncertainty can make it difficult to distinguish autofluorescence and background sources from signals…

We present results on $B\to J/\psi\xspace K\pi$ decays using $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. The detector is located at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy storage ring facility at the…

We analyse the structure of relativistic corrections in the inclusive production of polarized $J/\Psi$ from b-quark decay. The analysis is performed not only for the production channel in which the $c\bar c$ pair is a color sinlet, but also…

The decay $\eta_c(2S)\to\pipieta$ is searched for through the radiative transition $\psi(3686) \to\gamma\eta_c(2S)$ using 448 million $\psi$(3686) events accumulated at the BESIII detector. The first evidence of…

Experimentally, the phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$ are determined from CP asymmetry measurements in the "golden modes" $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$. At leading order, the theoretical interpretation of these…

The $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first…

Using a large acceptance calorimeter and a stopped pion beam we have made a precise measurement of the rare Pi+ -> Pi0 e+ Nu,(pi_beta) decay branching ratio. We have evaluated the branching ratio by normalizing the number of observed…

The BES Collaboration has measured $\Psi(2S)$ decay to $J/\Psi \pi^+\pi^-$. Using the mixed hybrid theory for the $\Psi(2S)$ we estimate the decay to $J/\Psi(1S)$ + $\sigma$. Using the known $\sigma \rightarrow 2\pi$ coupling constant, we…

In the presence of penguin contributions, the indirect CP asymmetry in B0(t)->pi+ pi- measures some effective (``polluted'') angle 2alpha_{eff}. The angle 2theta=2alpha_{eff}-2alpha, parameterizes the size of the penguin pollution. A new,…

The asymmetric B-factories have provided valuable information on CP violation so far. In particular, one of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle, phi1(=beta), has been measured by several approaches. Since FPCP2004, some measurements have…

The PEN Collaboration is conducting a new measurement of the pi+ -> e+ nu branching ratio at the Paul Scherrer Institute, with the goal uncertainty of delta B/B(pie2)=5E-4 or lower. At present, the combined accuracy of all published pie2…

Estimates of the branching ratios for B_{d,s}->J/psi eta and B_{d,s}->eta l+l- are obtained by SU(3) relation to B_d->J/psi K and B_d->K l+l-, respectively, as functions of the eta mixing parameter, theta_P. Based on these estimates, a…

The decay psi(2S) --> eta J/psi is used to measure, for the first time, all prominent eta-meson branching fractions with the same experiment in the same dataset, thereby providing a consistent treatment of systematics across branching…

The B^0_s -> J/psi K_S decay has recently been observed by the CDF collaboration and will be of interest for the LHCb experiment. It is the U-spin partner of the golden B^0_d -> J/psi K_S channel and offers a determination of the angle…

Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by Belle experiment. In this short note, we discuss some possible assignments for this enhancement, i.e. $\psi(3S)$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state. In these two assignments,…

The decays $B_d^0\to J/\psi K^0_{\text{S}}$and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$ play a key role for the determination of the $B^0_q$-$\bar B^0_q$ ($q=d,s$) mixing phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$, respectively. The theoretical precision of the extraction…

One of the key elements in the testing of the Standard-Model description of CP violation through $B$-meson decays is the direct determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle in a variety of ways. We give a brief overview of…
