The experimentally known $B_c$ states are all below open bottom-charm threshold, which experience three main decay modes, and all induced by weak interaction. In this work, we investigate the mass spectrum and strong decays of the $B_c(3S)$…
We study the weak decays of $\bar{B}_{(s)}$ and $B_c$ into $D$-wave heavy-light mesons, including $J^P=2^-$ ($D_{(s)2},D'_{(s)2},B_{(s)2}, B'_{(s)2}$) and $3^-$~($D^*_{(s)3}, B^*_{(s)3}$) states. The weak decay hadronic matrix elements are…
We report the first observation of the exclusive decays \bar B\to D^{(*)}K^{*-}, using 9.66 x 10^{6} B\bar{B} pairs collected at the \Upsilon(4S) with the CLEO detector. We measure the following branching fractions: {\cal B}(B^- -> D^0…

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 report a measurement of the branching fraction e^+e^- --> B0B0bar with a data sample of 81.7 fb^-1 collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- storage ring. Using partial…
Motivated by very recent measurement of the radiative decays of $\Upsilon(1S)$ to $\chi_{c1}$ at Belle, we use the nonrelativistic QCD factorization theory and calculate the branching fractions of the radiative decays of bottomonium into…
We consider the possibility of studying the CP properties of various B(s) decays at an electro-positron machine tuned to the Upsilon(5s). Since decay modes of the B(s) with definite CP are relatively rare, we suggest that the use of more…
We report results of proper-time evolution analyses of B decays at Belle, based on a 29.1/fb data sample recorded at the Upsilon (4S) resonance. These results include measurements of sin2phi_1, the lifetime of B-mesons, and the…
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (b-bbar) states other than the dipion transitions among upsns states. In our study of Y(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Y(3S) ->…

I discuss a model independent determination of the widths of a class of two-body $\bar{B}_s^0 $ decays induced by $b \to c \bar u d$ and $b \to c \bar u s$ transitions. The analysis is based on $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and exploits existing…
