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…
CP violation offers powerful probes to explore the quark-flavour sector, where decays of B mesons have been key players since decades. I discuss a variety of probes ranging from non-leptonic to rare B decays, offering exciting opportunities…
This is a discussion of the main branching fractions of B Meson decays $(b\to cW^{-})$. A summary of what has been measured and what remains unmeasured is presented.
We present the current status of experimental results and prospects for the determination of CP and T violation in the charm sector. Such measurements have acquired renewed interest in recent years in view of theoretical work, which has…
We have just entered a new round in the testing of the flavour sector of the Standard Model through high-precision measurements of B-meson decays. A particularly exciting aspect is the exploration of the B_s-meson system at LHCb. We focus…
We present recent BESIII results about the study of mesons which contain at least one charm quark. We determined the D(s)+ decay constants, the form factors of D semi-leptonic decays, the CKM matrix elements |Vcs(d)|.
Motivated by the recent 3.9$\sigma$ evidence for CP violation from the LHCb collaboration in decays of an anti-triplet beauty baryon to a charmonium, an octet baryon, and a pseudoscalar meson, we perform, for the first time, a systematic…
We review recent developments in charm physics, focusing on the physics of charmed mesons. We discuss charm spectroscopy, decay constants, as well as searches for new physics with charmed mesons. We discuss D0-anti-D0 mixing and…
Precision determination of the CKM angle $\gamma/\phi_3$ depends upon constraints on charm mixing amplitudes, measurements of doubly-Cabibbo suppressed amplitudes and relative phases, and studies of charm Dalitz plots tagged by flavor or CP…
We search for CP violating asymmetries in five charmless hadronic B meson decays using the full CLEO II and CLEO II.V data samples totalling 9.7 million BBbar events. The resulting Acp measurements have a precision that varies from +-0.12…
I review highlights of recent results in quark-flavor physics and heavy-quark spectroscopy from lattice QCD, with emphasis on $B$-meson decays and excited and exotic charmonium states.
A data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9 \text{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment has been analysed to search for $B_c^+ \to D^{(*)+}_{(s)} \overset{\scriptstyle (-)}{D}{}^{(*)0}$…
Weak decays of charm mesons has been used for studies of light quark spectroscopy, with particular emphasis on the J^{PC}=0^{++} states. Recent results on light scalars are summarized and some conceptual issues are discussed, especially the…
We have searched for CP violation of charmed mesons in the decays $D\to K^0_S P$, where $D$ denotes $D^0$ and $D^+_{(s)}$, and $P$ denotes the pseudo-scalar mesons $\pi^+$, $K^+$, $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta'$. No evidence of CP violation in…
Rare lepton decays of the B(s), D and K mesons are sensitive probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for the decays $B^0_(s) -> \mu^+ \mu^-$ provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles. LHCb is well suited…
We report on recent results on charmless hadronic and radiative rare $B_s^0$ decays, based on the data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. These include the studies of $B_s^0\rightarrow K^0\bar{K^0}$,…
We have studied two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons into the final states phi K and phi K^*. Using 9.7 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the CLEO II detector, we observe the decays B- -> phi K- and B0 -> phi K*0 with the…
Recent heavy flavour results from the LEP experiments are presented. These include a search for new physics in rare B decays, a new model-independent measurement of the b-quark fragmentation function at the Z peak, updated measurements of…
In this talk, we report the recent measurements of (semi)leptonic decays of charm mesons from the BESIII experiment, including $D^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu$, $D^+\to\tau^+\nu_\tau$, $D^+\to\eta^\prime\ell^+\nu_\ell$, and $D^{0(+)}\to\bar…
We summarize recent results for charm physics. These results span several categories: charm mixing, indirect (time-dependent) CP violation, direct (time-integrated) CP violation, T violation, semileptonic and leptonic decays, and decays of…
