We present results on lepton energy and recoil hadronic mass moments in semileptonic B decay using a total of 9.4 fb^-1 of data taken with the CLEO detector at the \Upsilon(4S). These results are discussed in the context of Heavy Quark…
Experimental era of rare $B$-decays started with the measurement of $B \to K^* \gamma$ by CLEO in 1993, followed two years later by the measurement of the inclusive decay $B \to X_s \gamma$, which serves as the standard candle in this…
We describe two recent results using data collected with the CLEO detector at the CESR e+e- collider at energies near the Upsilon(4S). The first is a Dalitz plot analysis of the decay D0->K0spi+pi-. We observe a rich structure including the…
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.
The CLEO collaboration has recently reported a (first) measurement of $BR (B \to \pi^+ \pi^-) = (4.7^{+1.8}_{-1.5} \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-6}$. We study, using recent results on QCD improved factorization, the implications of this measurement…
We present the partial branching fraction for inclusive charmless semileptonic B decays and the corresponding value of the CKM matrix element |Vub|, using a multivariate analysis method to access ~90% of the B -> Xu l nu phase space. This…
The Cryogenic Magnetic Detector (CMD-2) is shortly described. Preliminary results for the cross sections of $e^+$ $e^-$ annihilation into hadrons and leptons are presented in the c.m. energy range from 0.37 to 1.39 GeV. The total integrated…
This paper emphasizes four topics that represent some of the year's highlights in heavy quark physics. First of all, a review is given of charm lifetime measurements and how they lead to better understanding of the mechanisms of charm…
In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, \Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay…
Using e+e- collision data in the sqrt{s} = 4 GeV energy region, CLEO-c has made extensive studies of semileptonic and leptonic decays of the D0, D+, and Ds+ charmed mesons. We report recent measurements of absolute branching fractions, form…
We report studies of semileptonic decays, B --> X_c l nu, based on a sample of 88 million BB events recorded with the BABAR detector. We have measured four moments of the electron energy distribution and four moments of the hadronic mass…
The recent CLEO results on on radiative $b$-quark decays are used to derive constraints on anomalous $WW\gamma$ couplings. These constraints are compared with expectations from $p\bar p\rightarrow e^\pm p\llap/_T\gamma+X$ at the Tevatron.…
We report on first measurements of branching fractions~($\mathcal{B}$) and CP-violating charge asymmetries~($\mathcal{A}$) in charmless $B$ decays at Belle~II. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at…
Using a total of 2.74 x 10^7 decays of the psi(2S) collected with the CLEO-c detector, we present a study of chi_cJ -> gamma V, where V = rho^0, omega, phi. The transitions chi_c1 -> gamma rho^0 and chi_c1 -> gamma omega are observed with…
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…
Recent CLEO results on the observation of the $\Upsilon(1D)$ state and a search for the $\eta_b(1S)$ state from a data sample of $4.7 \times 10^6\,\Upsilon(3S)$ decays collected with the CLEO-III detector, and a measurement of the…
We present final measurements of thirteen charmless hadronic B decay modes from the CLEO experiment. The decay modes include the ten pipi, Kpi, and KKbar final states and new limits on dibaryonic final states, ppbar, pLambdabar, and…
Measuring the photon energy spectrum in radiative B decays provides essential help for gaining theoretical control over semileptonic B transitions. The hadronic recoil mass distribution in B -> X_u \ell\nu promises the best environment for…
Two loop electroweak corrections to b --> s gamma decays are computed. Fermion and photonic loop effects are found to reduce R = BR(b --> s gamma)/BR(b --> c e nu) by 8+-2% and lead to the standard model prediction BR(B --> X_s gamma)=(3.28…
The CLEO III detector has recently commenced data taking at the Cornell electron Storage Ring (CESR). One important component of this detector is a 4 layer double-sided silicon tracker with 93% solid angle coverage. This detector ranges in…
