We report an updated study of the suppressed decays $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D K^-$ and $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D \pi^-$ where $[K^+\pi^-]_D$ indicates that the $K^+\pi^-$ pair originates from a neutral $D$ meson. A data sample containing 386…

Collider searches for dark sectors, new particles interacting only feebly with ordinary matter, have largely focused on identifying signatures of new mediators, leaving much of dark sector structures unexplored. In particular, the existence…

We report a study of the suppressed B meson decay B^- -> D K^- followed by D -> K^+ \pi^-, where D indicates a D^0 or \bar{D}^0 state. The two decay paths interfere and provide information on the CP-violating angle \phi_3. We use a data…

In the bottomonium sector, the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transitions between P-wave states $h_b(2P) \rightarrow \chi_{bJ}(1P) \gamma$, $J=0, \, 1, \, 2$, are expected to be severely suppressed according to the Relativized Quark Model,…

As tests of QCD in the bottomonium system, we give the most accurate results to date for the ground-state hyperfine splitting and the $\Upsilon$ leptonic width from full lattice QCD. These quantities are both accurately known from…

The cross section for e^+e^- to pi^+pi^-J/psi between 3.8 and 5.5 GeV/c^2 is measured using a 548 fb^{-1} data sample collected on or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25 GeV/c^2, corresponding to…

We report the first observation of color-suppressed $\overline{B}^0\to D^0 \pi^0$ and $D^{(*)0} \omega$ decays and evidence of $\overline{B}^0 \to D^{*0} \pi^0$ and $D^{(*)0} \eta$. The branching fractions are found to be ${\cal B}…

In this work, we study higher bottomonia up to the $nL=8S$, $6P$, $5D$, $4F$, $3G$ multiplets using the modified Godfrey-Isgur (GI) model, which takes account of color screening effects. The calculated mass spectra of bottomonium states are…
