With an integrated luminosity of 7.7 fb-1 collected on resonance by BABAR at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory, we measure the difference in mass between the neutral B eigenstates, Delta(m_d), to be (0.507+/-0.015+/-0.022)x 10^{12} hbar…
In this article, we review the current status of $B$-mixing and $b$-hadron lifetimes both from experimental and theoretical points of view. Furthermore, we discuss the phenomenological potential of these observables for deepening our…
A new way of probing new physics in the $B$ meson system is provided. We define double ratios for the observables of $B_{d,s}$-$\Bbar_{d,s}$ mixings and $B_{d,s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays, and find simple relations between the observables. By…
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…
Using about 23M $B \bar B$ events collected in 1999-2000 with the BABAR detector, we report the observation of several hundred $B \to D^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}K$ decays with two completely reconstructed D mesons. The preliminary branching…
Mixing in the D0 system may provide a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) but has so far eluded experimental observation. The SM predictions are typically small (< 10^{-3}) for the mixing parameters x, y which, in…
Rare B decays permit stringent tests of the Standard Model and allow searches for new physics. Several rare radiative-decay studies of the B meson from the BaBar collaboration are described. So far no sign for new physics was discovered.
We present the B physics results from the CDF and D{\O} experiments at the Tevatron Run II at Fermilab and their future prospect. This includes various B mass and lifetime measurements, B mixing, the confirmation of the discovery of the X…
These proceedings provide a brief overview of the status of $B$ meson physics, putting particular emphasis on precision tests of the Standard Model with meson mixing data, and on the anomalies in charged- and neutral-current semileptonic…
As is well known, $B^0_{d,s}$--$\bar B^0_{d,s}$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The data obtained at the $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories have already provided valuable insights into the…
We report preliminary results on the measurement of branching fractions of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered…
The investigation of mixing phenomena and lifetime in neutral B meson systems provides an important testing ground for standard model flavour dynamics. Spectroscopic parameters has been used to calculate the pseudoscalar decay constant and…
The properties of the $\DsTT$ and $\DsFE$ mesons are studied using 125 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to c \bar{c}$ data collected by the BaBar experiment. Preliminary mass estimates of $[2318.9\pm 0.3 ({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.9 ({\rm syst.})]$…
