What do we know about CPT symmetry? We conclude that the direcrt measurement of CPT violation leads to a result that CPT violation force is limited to about 30% of CP violating forces. The best test of CPT symmetry is to see if theoretical…

Experimental tests of QCD through its predictions for the strange-quark content of the proton have been drastically restricted by our lack of knowledge of the violation of charge symmetry (CSV). We find unexpectedly tiny CSV in the proton's…

We determine the inclusive B --> Xc l nu branching fraction, the CKM matrix element |Vcb|, and other heavy-quark parameters from a simultaneous fit to moments of the hadronic-mass and lepton-energy distributions in semileptonic B-meson…

Using 58 million J/\psi events accumulated with the BES II detector, branching fractions for the \eta_{c} ->VV decays, \eta_{c} -> \rho \rho, \eta_{c} -> K^{*}{\bar K}^{*}, \eta_{c} -> \omega \omega, and \eta_{c} -> \phi \phi, are measured.…

Motivated by the recently improved results from the Fermilab Lattice and MILC Collaborations on the hadronic matrix elements entering $\Delta M_{s,d}$ in $B_{s,d}^0-\bar B_{s,d}^0$ mixing, we determine the Universal Unitarity Triangle (UUT)…

The CKM matrix element $|V_{us}|$ can be extracted from the experimental measurement of semileptonic $K\to\pi$ decays. The determination depends on theory input for the corresponding vector form factor in QCD. We present a preliminary…
