Based on 471 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider, we perform a series of measurements on rare decays B->K(*)l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-. The measurements include total branching…
Between 1992 to 1996, the CDF and D0 detectors each collected data samples exceeding 100 pb^{-1} of p\bar{p} collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. These data sets led to a large number of precision measurements of the…
