Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…
Purely baryonic weak decays of heavy baryons are investigated within the framework of the Skyrme model. These decays belong to a new class of unobserved decay channels, which would help us to test the standard model, particularly potential…
We describe a search for hadronic decays of the Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S) resonances to the exclusive final states rho pi, K*(892) Kbar, rho a2(1320), omega f2(1270), phi f2'(1525), K*(892) K2*(1430)bar, b1(1235) pi, K1(1270) Kbar, and…
We have fully reconstructed decays of both B0 and B- Mesons into final states containing either D, D*, D**, Psi, Psi', or Chi_{c1} mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the…
