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…

Rare radiative, leptonic and semileptonic B meson decays are valuable probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk reviews the sensitivity to new physics of observables related to two rare B decays to be measured in the near…
In recent studies of inclusive $B$ decays, it has been suggested that either $B$ mesons decay much more copiously to final states with no open charm than currently assumed, or $B(D^0 \to K^-\pi^+)$ has to be reduced significantly. This note…
The study of b-hadrons made possible a great number of benchmark results in flavour physics. In recent years a lot of effort in understanding their dynamics has been done. These studies can represent a possible avenue for the discovery of…
I discuss the results on $D^{0}$-$\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing through hadronic as well as semi-leptonic charm decays, rare flavor-changing neutral currents in the charm sector and the lepton flavor violating $\tau$ decaying to charged lighter…
We have studied two-body charmless decays of the $B$ meson into the final states $\rho^0 \rho^0$, $K^{*0} \rho^0$, $K^{*0} K^{*0}$, $K^{*0} \bar{K^{*0}}$, $K^{*+} \rho^0$, $K^{*+} \bar{K^{*0}}$, and $K^{*+} K^{*-}$ using only decay modes…
Charmless semileptonic decays, ${\bar{B}} \to X_u \ell \bar{\nu}$, are studied in a sample of 232 million $B\bar{B}$ decays recorded with the BaBar detector, in events where the decay of the second $B$ meson is fully reconstructed.…

Our analysis suggests that the charmless yield in B decays is enhanced over traditional estimates. The c c.bar pair produced in b to c c.bar transitions may be seen significantly as light hadrons due to non-perturbative effects. Existing…
