We discuss the rescattering effects in decays $B\to \pi+K$. The picture we take is very simple: first, B decay into $K*\rho$, then $K*$ and $\rho$ go to kaon and pion by exchanging a pion. We find a up to ten percent CP violation asymmetry…

The first observation of the $B^0_s \rightarrow \left( \chi_{c1}(3872) \rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-\right) \pi^+ \pi^-$ decay is reported using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1, 2 and 6fb$^{-1}$,…

A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to…

We report evidence for the decays $B^0\to D_s^{+} \pi^-$ and $B^0\to D_s^{-} K^+$ and the results of a search for $B^0 \to D_s^{*+} \pi^-$ and $B^0\to D_s^{*-} K^+$ in a sample of 84 milion Y(4S) decays into $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with…

From the perspective that the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ are dynamically generated resonances from the $DN,~D^*N$ interaction and coupled channels, we have evaluated the rates for $\Lambda_b \to \pi^- \Lambda_c(2595)$ and…

We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using 1.25 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates are inclusively reconstructed and combined with charged…

Several observed states close to the $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*_{(s)}\bar{D}^*_{(s)}$ thresholds, as the X(3872) and some XYZ particles can be described in terms of a two-meson molecule. Furthermore, doubly charmed states are also predicted.…

We investigate the resonant contributions in the decays $\bar{B}^0_{(s)} \to D^0 \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $\bar{B}^0_{(s)} \to D^0 K^{+}K^{-}$, and $\bar{B}^{0} \rightarrow D^{0} \pi^{0}\eta$ by considering the final state interactions within the…

Motivated by the polarization anomaly in the B->phi(1020)K*(892) decay, we extend our search for other K* final states in the decay B0->phi(1020)K^*0 with the K*0->K+pi- invariant mass above 1.6 GeV. The final states considered include the…

We search for the decay B0 -> rho0rho0 and other possible charmless modes with a pi+pi-pi+pi- final state, including B0 -> rho0f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)pipi, B0 -> rho0pipi and non-resonant B0 -> 4pi. These results are…

The recent search for non $q \bar{q}$ mesons in $\pi^{-}p$ interactions at Brookhaven National Laboratory is summarized. Many final states such as $\eta \pi$, $\eta' \pi^{-}$, $a_{0} \pi$, $f_{1} \pi$, $a_{2} \pi$, $b_{1} \pi$, which are…

A search for forbidden and exotic Z boson decays in the diphoton mass spectrum is presented for the first time in hadron collisions, based on data corresponding to 10.0 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity from proton-antiproton collisions at…

The three body pion decays ${\pi}^+{\rightarrow}l^+{\nu}X~(l=e,{\mu})$, where $X$ is a weakly interacting neutral boson, were searched for using the full data set from the PIENU experiment. An improved limit on…

We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain non-leptonic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the Standard Model. A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these regions would…

We investigate the effect of an extra fourth quark generation and FCNC mediated $Z$ and $Z'$ bosons on the rare decay mode $B^- \to \phi \pi^-$. In the standard model, this mode receives only $b \to d$ penguin contributions and therefore,…

We examine the invariant mass spectrum of $D^{0}p$ in $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0}$ decay measured by BABAR and find that through the 2-step processes of $\bar B^0\to {\bf B_c^+}(\to D^{0} p)\bar p$, where ${\bf B_c}$ denotes a charmed baryon…
