This writeup summarizes the status of neutrino oscillations, including recent fluxes and experimental data, as of summer 2006. A discussion is given on the current status of absolute scale of neutrino mass from tritium, neutrinoless double…
We measure the $B^0$ lifetime and flavor-oscillation frequency using $B^0\to D^{(*)-}\pi^+$ decays collected by the Belle II experiment in asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collisions produced by the SuperKEKB collider operating at the…
The dipion transitions $\Upsilon(2S,3S,4S) \to \Upsilon(1S,2S)\pi\pi$ are systematically studied by considering the mechanisms of the hadronization of soft gluons, exchanging the bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states, and the bottom-meson loops. The…
Recent CLEO results on beauty and charm meson decays presented at the International Conference on Flavor Physics (ICFP2001) are discussed. The results include exclusive rare B decays (B to PP, PV, VV, \phiK^(*), l^+l^-K^(*)), inclusive b to…
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays D0\to mu+mu- and D0\to e+e-, and for the lepton-flavor violating decays D0\to e\pm mu\mp using 660 fb^-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e-…
Two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons are important for determining Standard Model parameters and for detecting the presence of new physics. We present recent results from the Belle experiment on the charmless hadronic decays…
We investigate $I = 0$ bottomonium bound states and resonances in S, P, D and F waves using lattice QCD static-static-light-light potentials. We consider five coupled channels, one confined quarkonium and four open $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$…
In this talk, we report the recent measurements of (semi)leptonic decays of charm mesons from the BESIII experiment, including $D^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu$, $D^+\to\tau^+\nu_\tau$, $D^+\to\eta^\prime\ell^+\nu_\ell$, and $D^{0(+)}\to\bar…
Using samples of 102 million $\Upsilon(1S)$ and 158 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ events collected with the Belle detector, we study exclusive hadronic decays of these two bottomonium resonances to the three-body final states $\phi K^+ K^-$,…
The latest SLD results on light-quark fragmentation and tests of hadronisation models are presented
Decays of B mesons into final states containing a tau lepton are sensitive to new charged-current interactions that break lepton-flavor universality. These decays have been studied only at e+e- colliders, where the low-background…
We discuss decays and productions for the possible molecular states formed by bottom mesons B (B*) and anti-B (anti-B*). The twin resonances found by Belle, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), are such candidates. The spin wave functions of the…
The bottomonium mass spectra is computed in the framework of potential non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics. The potential consists of a static term incorporating Coulombic plus confinement part along with a correction term added…
The coulomb plus linear (Cornell) potential is used to investigate the mass spectrum of bottomonium. Gaussian wave function is used in position and momentum space to estimate values of potential and kinetic energies, respectively. Based on…
The charmed B decays, $B\to DP, ~D^*P$ and $DV$, are re-analyzed using the latest experimental data, where $P$ and $V$ denote the pseudoscalar meson and vector meson, respectively. We perform global fits under the assumption of flavor SU(3)…
We have studied radiative B meson decays into higher kaonic resonances decaying into a two-body or three-body final state, using a data sample of 21.3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. For…
The bottom-charmed ($B_c$) mesons are more stable than their charmonium ($c\bar c$) and bottomium ($b\bar b$) partners because they cannot annihilate into gluons. However, the low production cross-sections and signal-to-background ratios…
We review recent experimental results from CLEO and LEP experiments on hadronic decays of hadrons containing $b$ quarks. We discuss charm counting and the semileptonic branching fraction in $B$ decays and the color suppressed amplitude in…
We review recent studies on exotic states at the Belle experiment. The results include: (1) The measurement of the cross sections of $\gamma \gamma \to \omega \phi$, $\phi\phi$, and $\omega \omega$ for masses that range from threshold to…
