A data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9 \text{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment has been analysed to search for $B_c^+ \to D^{(*)+}_{(s)} \overset{\scriptstyle (-)}{D}{}^{(*)0}$…
The recently-discovered narrow charmonium resonance near 3870 MeV is interpreted as a hadronic molecule whose constituents are the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}. Because of an accidental fine-tuning of the molecule…
We report measurements of radiative B decays with K eta gamma final states, using a data sample of 253 /fb recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- storage ring. We observe B+ -> K+ eta gamma for the…
We report measurements of the inclusive electron energy spectrum and hadron invariant mass spectrum for charmed semileptonic decays of B mesons in a 140 fb^-1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We…
We report preliminary results of a Dalitz plot analysis of three-body charmless B0=>Kspi+pi- decays. The analysis is performed with a data sample that contains 386 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected near the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…
We compute two-loop corrections to the vector current matching coefficient involving two heavy quark masses. The result is applied to the computation of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ decay width into an electron or muon pair. We complement the…
We point out that non-leptonic B decays driven by b-->ccbar s should provide a favourable environment for the production of hidden charm diquark-antidiquark bound states that have been suggested to explain the resonances with masses around…
We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ in $D^{0}$ decays to the $CP$-odd final state $K^{0}_{S}\omega$. The study uses the full Belle $e^{+}e^-$ annihilation data sample of $976\rm~ fb^{-1}$ taken at or near…
Belle II is an upcoming experiment at the next generation SuperKEKB e+e- collider. It will record about 50 ab-1 of data mostly at the Y(4S) resonance. The high statistics will allow precision measurements for rare decays, which can be then…
We present three analyses based on data samples collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric energy collider. The first one contains the measurement of the branching fractions and q^2 distributions of exclusive charmless…
We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons. Final states include $\pi\pi$, $K \pi$, and $KK$ with both charged and neutral kaons and pions; $\pi\rho$, $K \rho$, and $K^*\pi$; and $K\phi$, $ K^*\phi$, and…
We report the preliminary measurement by the FOCUS Collaboration (E831 at Fermilab) of masses and widths of the L=1 charm mesons $D_2^{*0}$ and $D_2^{*+}$. The fit of the invariant mass distribution requires an additional term to account…
We review recent results from the Belle experiment, which took data at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider in Japan. The experiment recorded about 1000 fb^{-1} of data running mainly at the \Upsilon(4S) and \Upsilon(5S) resonances. The…
The most recent b-physics results from the OPAL experiment at LEP are reviewed. A measurement of semileptonic B meson decays to narrow orbitally-excited charm mesons is presented first, followed by a study of charm production in b-hadron…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric electron-positron collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility at the Japanese KEK laboratory. Belle II collected a sample of $362~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ at the…
We report a search for the charmless vector-vector decay B0->omega K*0 with 520x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We measure the branching fraction in units of 10^-6: Br = 1.2 +0.9-0.8 +-0.2…
We will study open and hidden charm scalar meson resonances within two different models. The first one is a direct application of a chiral Lagrangian already used to study flavor symmetry breaking in Skyrme models. In another approach to…
We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter's bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various…
New results on B decays to charm-related modes from the Belle and CLEO experiments are presented.
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…
