We report on a study of charmless B meson decays to three-kaon final states. The results are obtained with a 78.7 1/fb data sample collected on the Y(4S) resonance by the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$…
Semileptonic decays of B mesons may be used in many different ways to probe the CKM matrix. Presented here are several recent results from the CLEO II experiment, all involving the analysis or utilization of semileptonic B decays.
The e-e+ collider LEP, running at sqrt{s} = m(Z0), has been a copious source of b-hadrons produced in decays Z0 -> b \b. We present recent studies using up to 4*10^6 hadronic Z0 decays acquired by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 2000.…
Measurements of many Standard Model constants are clouded by uncertainties in nonperturbative QCD parameters that relate measurable quantities to the underlying parton-level processes. Generally these QCD parameters have been obtained from…

We report a search for charmless hadronic decays of charged $B$ mesons to the final states $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} K^{\pm}$ and $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} \pi^{\pm}$ . The results are based on a $711 {fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains $772 \times…

In the light of recent experimental data from the CLEO Collaboration we study, the decays of B mesons to a pair of pseudoscalar (P) mesons, and a vector (V) meson and a pseudoscalar meson, in the framework of factorization. In order to…
A review of charm semileptonic decays results obtained at B factories is presented. It focuses on form factors measurements in $D^0\to K^- \ell^+ \nu$, $D^0\to \pi^- \ell^+ \nu$, $D_s^+ \to K^+K^- e^+\nu_e$, and $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+ e^+\nu_e$.…
The CKM angle $\phi_3$ is less precisely known than the angle $\phi_1$ and the only one that is accessible with tree-level decays in a theoretically clean way. The key method to measure $\phi_3$ is through the interference between $B^+\to…
