The oscillation frequency Delta-md of B0 anti-B0 mixing is measured using the partially reconstructed semileptonic decay anti-B0 -> l- nubar D*+ X. The data sample was collected with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider during…
In this article, we calculate the masses and decay constants of the $P$-wave strange-bottomed mesons $B_{s0}$ and $B_{s1}$ with the QCD sum rules, and observe that the central values of the masses of the $B_{s0}$ and $B_{s1}$ are smaller…
B^0-anti-B^0 flavor oscillations have been studied in 20.7 fb-1 of e^+e^- annihilation data collected in 1999 and 2000 with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. The event sample consists of one B^0…
We study the $\bar B^0_s \to J/\psi K^+ K^-$, $\bar B^0 \to J/\psi K^+ K^-$, $B^- \to J/\psi K^0 K^-$, $\bar B^0 \to J/\psi \pi^0 \eta$ and $B^- \to J/\psi \pi^- \eta$ decays and compare their mass distributions with those obtained for the…
In a previous publication we noted that the time dependence of an incoherent $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixture undergoes a qualitative change when the magnitude of CP violation $\delta$ exceeds a critical value. Requiring, on physical grounds, that…
We present a measurement of the B0 B0-bar oscillation frequency using a flavor tagging method based on correlations of B meson flavor with the charge of other particles produced in p p-bar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV. Such correlations…
Flavor oscillations of neutral $B$ mesons have been studied in $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. The data sample used for this purpose consists of…
CP violation in $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ oscillations is expected at the $10^{-5}$ level in the Standard Model but could be enhanced by New Physics. Using $B^0_s\to D_s^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays, LHCb has recently reported the new result…
We report the observation of Bs-Bsbar oscillations from a time-dependent measurement of the Bs-Bsbar oscillation frequency Delta ms. Using a data sample of 1 fb^-1 of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector…

The width difference $\Delta \Gamma$ among the two mass eigenstates of the $B_s$-$\bar B_s$ system is measured with a precision of 7%. The theory prediction has a larger uncertainty which mainly stems from unknown perturbative higher-order…
We report on mass and mean life measurements of several ground state $b-$baryons, using 9.6 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data from $p\bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV, and recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Data collected…
T violation should be tested independently of CP violation. Besides K system, B meson decays provide another good place to study T violation. In the Standard Model, T violation in $B^0 \rightleftharpoons \bar{B^0}$ oscillation is expected…
The pseudoscalar meson B_c is the lowest mass bound state of the (c b-bar) and the charge conjugate. It is the last such meson to be discovered. Both the CDF and D0 collaborations have reported recent results on the mass and lifetime of…
