A broad peaking structure is observed in the dimuon spectrum of $B^+ \to K^+ \mu^+\mu^-$ decays in the kinematic region where the kaon has a low recoil against the dimuon system. The structure is consistent with interference between the…

Recent results on Dalitz analysis of three-pseudoscalar decays are discussed in the context of probing charm hadronic-decay mechanisms: the role of FSI effects, which create phase shifts between the interfering resonant channels, can be…

A high statistics sample of photo-produced charm from the FOCUS(E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for direct CP violation in the decays D+->K_S pi+ and D+ -> K_S K+. We have measured the following asymmetry parameters…

We study the decay of D+ and Ds+ mesons into charged five body final states, and report the discovery of the decay mode D+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, as well as measurements of the decay modes D+ -> K-Pi+Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ ->…

We investigate the decays $D^0\to\pi^-\ell^+\nu$ and $D^0\to K^-\ell^+ \nu$, where $\ell$ is $e$ or $\mu$, using approximately 7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the CLEO III detector. We find $R_0\equiv {\cal B}(D^0\to…

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…

We report a measurement of the exclusive $B^+$ meson decay to the final state $D_s^- K^+\pi^+$ using $520 \times 10^{6} B\bar{B}$ pairs collected near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy…

We review results on rare and forbidden decays of D^0, D^+, and D^+_s mesons from experiments at FNAL. The decay modes studied have two leptons in the final state and, if observed, would constitute evidence for flavor-changing…

We investigate the decay properties of some beauty and charm mesons with a phenomenological potential model. First, we consider the nonrelativistic Hamiltonian of the mesonic system with Coulomb plus exponential terms and study the wave…

Using a low-background sample of $2.6\times 10^5$ $J/\psi\rightarrow\omega\eta(\omega\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0},\eta\rightarrow\gamma\gamma)$ events, about 5 times larger statistics than previous experiments, we present a Dalitz plot…
