We present an unquenched $N_f=2$ lattice computation of the $B_{K}$ parameter which controls $K^0-\bar K^0$ oscillations. A partially quenched setup is employed with two maximally twisted dynamical (sea) light Wilson quarks, and valence…
The discovery of neutrino masses has provided strong hints in favor of the possibility that B-L symmetry is an intimate feature of physics beyond the standard model. I discuss how important information about this symmetry as well as other…
Using the newly measured masses of $B_c(1S)$ and $B_c(2S)$ from the CMS Collaboration and the $1S$ hyperfine splitting determined from the lattice QCD as constrains, we calculate the $B_c$ mass spectrum up to the $6S$ multiplet with a…
In this work there are considered two approaches to the description of $K^o, \bar K^o$ meson transitions into $K_S (K^o_1)$ mesons at $CP$ violation in weak interactions. The first approach uses the standard theory of oscillations and the…
K0-K0bar oscillations are extremely sensitive to the K0 and K0bar energy at rest. Even assuming m_K0=m_K0bar, the energy is not granted to be the same if gravitational effects on K0 and K0bar slightly differ. We consider various gravitation…
A method to extract B-physics parameters (b-quark mass and fB, fBs decay constants) from currently available lattice data is presented and tested. The approach is based on the idea of constructing appropriate ratios of heavy-light meson…
The lifetime and oscillation frequency of the B0 meson has been measured using B0->D*+l-v decays recorded on the Z0 peak with the OPAL detector at LEP. The D*+ -> D0pi+ decays were reconstructed using an inclusive technique and the…
The harmonic quarks and their complete oscillators are successfully used for the exact quantitative results and an explanation of the $D$ meson mass differences. For the first time it is shown that the mass differences of the charmed mesons…
Measurements of $\mathrm{B}^*_\mathrm{s2}(5840)^0$ and $\mathrm{B}_\mathrm{s1}(5830)^0$ mesons are performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS…
Including the recent preliminary results of BaBar and BELLE experiments, we update the currently allowed intervals for various CKM parameters: $\bar\rho$, $\bar\eta$, $\sin2\beta$, $\sin2\alpha$, $\sin^2\gamma$. We also update the SM…
We calculate the bag parameters for neutral $B$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model, in full four-flavour lattice QCD for the first time. We work on gluon field configurations that include the effect of $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ sea…
We revisit the $\Delta F=2$ transitions in the $K$ and $B_{d,s}$ neutral meson systems in the context of the minimal Left-Right symmetric model. We take into account, in addition to up-to-date phenomenological data, the contributions…
The first observation of a new meson state decaying into $B_c^+$ and a photon is presented using a dataset of $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider,…
Recent results on the $B$ CP-violation parameter $\sin2\phi_1$, the $B^0_d$-$\overline{B}^0_d$ mixing parameter $\Delta m_d$ and $B$-meson lifetimes are reported. The results are based on 10.5 $fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle…
The mass shifts of experimentally well-known baryons due to meson-baryon self-energy loops are calculated, and their impact on the observed splitting of the baryon spectrum is studied. Configuration-mixed wave functions adapted from a…
The subject of particle-antiparticle mixing in the neutral B meson systems is reviewed. The formalism of B0-B0bar mixing and basic Standard Model predictions are given, before experimental issues are discussed and the latest combinations of…
The bottom quark pole mass $M_b$ is determined using a sum rule which relates the masses and the electronic decay widths of the $\Upsilon$ mesons to large $n$ moments of the vacuum polarization function calculated from nonrelativistic…
We report studies in polarization in B decay into two vector mesons with data equivalent to $253 {\rm fb^{-1}}$ on $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance at KEKB. In $B^0 \to \phi K^{*0}$, $B^+ \to \phi K^{*+}$ and $B^+ \to \rho^+ K^{*0}$ decays, we…
Several exclusive $B_s^0$ decays are studied using a 1.86 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. In the $B_s^0 \to D_s^- \pi^+$ decay mode we find 10 $B_s^0$…
