We have observed the rare decay B0->rho+rho- in a sample of 89 million BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fraction B(B0->rho+rho-)=(27+7-6+5-7)10^-6 and determine the longitudinal polarization fraction…

The goal of the SIMBA collaboration is to provide a global fit to the available measurements of inclusive B -> X_s gamma and B -> X_u l nu decays. By performing a global fit one is able to simultaneously determine the relevant…
We measure the branching fraction of the radiative B- decay B(B- -> phi K- gamma) = (3.46 +/- 0.57^{+0.39}_{-0.37}) 10^-6, and set an upper limit on the radiative B0 decay B(B0 -> phi K0 gamma) < 2.71 10^-6 at 90% confidence level. We also…
We review recent results of the BABAR and BELLE Collaborations on the the alpha and gamma angles of the unitary triangle, on the B to K pi pi Dalitz-plot analyses, and on the searches for baryonic B decays and for B to DD decays.
The rare decay B0 -> gamma gamma is searched for in 104 fb^-1 of data, corresponding to 111 x 10^6 BBar pairs, collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. No evidence for the signal is found, and an upper…
We have investigated the exclusive, radiative B meson decays to K2*(1430) in 89* 10^6 BBbar events with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring. We measure the branching fractions BR(B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma) = (1.22 +-0.25…
We present an updated next-to-leading order analysis of the B -> X_s gamma branching ratio and photon spectrum, including consistently the effects of Fermi motion in the heavy-quark expansion. For the Standard Model, we obtain B(B -> X_s…
The photon spectrum in the inclusive electromagnetic radiative decays of the $B$ meson, $B \to X_{s} \gamma$ plus $B \to X_{d} \gamma$, is studied using a data sample of $(382.8 \pm 4.2) \times 10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\overli\ ne{B}$…
