Using data collected near the Ds*+ Ds- peak production energy Ecm=4170 MeV by the CLEO-c detector, we search for Ds+ exclusive hadronic decays involving omega. We find B(Ds+ -> pi+ omega) = (0.21 +- 0.09 +- 0.01)%, B(Ds+ -> pi+ pi0 omega) =…

We have searched for the charmless hadronic decay of B0 mesons into two neutral pions. Using 9.13fb^-1 taken at the Upsilon(4S) with the CLEO detector, we obtain an improved upper limit for the branching fraction BR(B0-->pi0pi0) < 5.7*10^-6…

We report a study of the suppressed B meson decay B^- -> D K^- followed by D -> K^+ \pi^-, where D indicates a D^0 or \bar{D}^0 state. The two decay paths interfere and provide information on the CP-violating angle \phi_3. We use a data…
The meson decays $B\to D\tau\nu$ and $B\to D^* \tau \nu$ are sensitive probes of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition. In this work we present a complete framework to obtain the maximum information on the physics of $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ with…
