We report the results of several studies of the Lambda_c+pi+pi-X final state in continuum e+e- annihilation data collected by the Belle detector. An analysis of angular distributions in Lambda_c(2880)->Sigma_c(2455)pi decays strongly favors…
The Snell phase effects on the propagation of optical beams through dielectric blocks have been matter of recent theoretical studies. The effects of this phase on the laser profiles have been tested in our experiment. The data show an…
In view of recent experimental progress in rate and CP asymmetry measurements in $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$, we reconsider information on the weak phase $\gamma$ which can be obtained from these processes. Model-independent inequalities are…
We investigate a possible background of the type Omega_c^0 --> Xi_c^+ pi^- to the CLEO Xi_c^+ lifetime measurement. This decay mode may lead to an overestimate of the Xi_c^+ decay length and, therefore, increase the measured Xi_c^+…
The ratio of the \Lambda b baryon lifetime to that of the B0 meson is measured using 1.0/fb of integrated luminosity in 7 TeV center-of-mass energy pp collisions at the LHC. The \Lambda b baryon is observed for the first time in the decay…
In view of the very precise measurements on fermion couplings which will be performed at ILC250 with polarized beams, there is emerging evidence that the LEP1/SLC measurements on these couplings are an order of magnitude too imprecise to…
The beam spin asymmetry (BSA) in the exclusive reaction ep->ep pi0 was measured with the CEBAF 5.77 GeV polarized electron beam and Large Acceptance Spectrometer(CLAS). The xB, Q2, t and phi dependences of the pi0 BSA are presented in the…
We review recent measurements of heavy B hadron states including masses and lifetimes of the Bc meson as well as excited B states (B**, Bs**). We discuss properties of the Bs meson such as lifetime, lifetime difference delta_Gamma/Gamma and…
In the next decade, the proposed Line Emission Mapper (LEM) telescope concept is poised to revolutionize Galactic and extragalactic X-ray sensitivity. The instruments aboard LEM feature unprecedented eV scale energy resolution and an…
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…
Measurements of the Xi- and anti-Xi+ masses, mass differences, lifetimes and lifetime differences are presented. The anti-Xi+ sample used is much larger than those used previously for such measurements. In addition, the Xi production rates…
Theoretical predictions for Bhabha scattering observables are presented including complete one-loop electroweak radiative corrections. A longitudinal polarization of the initial beams is taken into account. Numerical results for the…
Applying the effective amplitude, which is evidently consistent with general constraints from chiral symmetry, the pipi spectra in the relevant processes are analyzed, leading to a strong evidence for existence of the light sigma meson. It…
Recent experimental limits for the direct CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, and for the indirect CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, are combined with information…
The neutral B meson lifetime has been measured with the data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring during the year 2000 for a total integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1. The B0 --> D*- pi+ decays have been selected with a…
We present recent W and charged lepton asymmetry measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments. Theoretical predictions agree with the CDF W asymmetry, measured using a new matrix element technique. These theoretical predictions are less…
The neutral $B$ meson lifetime is measured with the data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring during the years 1999 and 2000, with a total integrated luminosity of 20.7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$. The decays $B^0 \to D^{*-}…
We measure the lifetime of the $D_s^+$ meson using a data sample of 207 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time…
We have made the first measurement of the D*+ width using 9/fb of e+e- data collected near the Y4S resonance by the CLEO II.V detector. Our method uses advanced tracking techniques and a reconstruction method that takes advantage of the…
A measurement of the K_S lifetime is presented using data recorded by the NA48 experiment at the CERN-SPS during 1998 and 1999. The K_S lifetime is derived from the ratio of decay time distributions in simultaneous, collinear K_S and K_L…
