The decays $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the…
We point out that the recently increased value of the angle $\gamma$ in the Unitarity Triangle (UT), determined in tree-level decays to be $\gamma=(74.0^{+5.0}_{-5.8})^\circ$ by the LHCb collaboration, combined with the most recent value of…
The measurement and precision at B physics experiment are reviewed by taking into account of the numbers of B mesons to be produced in the future experimental projects. With $10^9$ or more B mesons we will be able to fix the parameters in…
Even in 2010 the CKM parameters $V_{cs}$, $V_{cd}$ and $V_{ub}$ will be known with less than desirable accuracy; the discovery potential for New Physics in charm decays -- in particular their CP asymmetries -- will be far from exhausted;…
The charm quark has unique properties that make it a very important probe of many facets of the Standard Model. New experimental information on charm decays is becoming available from dedicated experiments at charm factories, and through…
The analysis of quantum-correlated $D-\bar{D}$ decays produced at the $\psi(3770)$ resonance gives unique insight into quantities such as strong-phase differences and coherence factors. Knowledge of these parameters is invaluable for…
We discuss the determination of the CKM angles gamma and alpha using recent data from non-leptonic B decays together with flavour symmetries. Penguin effects are controlled by means of the CP-averaged branching ratio B_d \to \pi^\pm K^\mp.…
We report results from the first measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$ using $B\rightarrow DK$ decays with the LHCb experiment. Three well established methods are used to extract the CP observables. The updated measurement of $\gamma$ in…
The production of c and b quarks in gamma-gamma collisions is studied with the L3 detector at LEP with 410 pb^-1 of data, collected at centre-of-mass energies from 189 GeV to 202 GeV. Hadronic final states containing c and b quarks are…
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…
We present constraints on the CKM parameter gamma=arg(Vub*) formed within the framework of SU(3) symmetry and based on charmless hadronic B decays to K*+- pi-+ and other pseudoscalar-vector final states. For strong phases of O(10 degrees),…
Charmonium is a bound state of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark, and a charmoniumlike state is a resonant structure that contains a charmed quark and antiquark pair but has properties that are incompatible with a conventional…
In order to determine the ratio of CKM matrix elements |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| (and |V_{ub}|), we propose a new model-independent method based on the heavy quark effective theory, which is theoretically described by the phase space factor and the…
We have analyzed how much the $CP$ angles to be measured at B factories can deviate from the geometrical ones defined in unitarity triangle under the existence of new physics. The measurements are given in rephasing invariant form. If KM…
Motivated by recent CLEO measurements of $B\to\pi K$ modes, we investigate their implications for the CKM angle $\gamma$ and a consistent description of these decays within the Standard Model. Interestingly it turns out that already the…
The combination of precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions allows to extract Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements or constrain flavor changing processes in the standard model. Focusing at theoretical…

Despite the successes of the standard model, the non-perturbative dynamics of the strong interaction are not fully understood yet. Charmonium spectroscopy serves as an ideal tool to shed light on the dynamics of the strong interaction such…
