A review of b physics results from the LEP experiments and SLD is presented. Emphasis is given to the determination of the |Vcb| and |Vub| and to the study of B meson oscillations, which yield bounds on the unitary triangle.
The lifetimes of B+ and B0 mesons have been measured using the entire sample of 550,000 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1998. In this paper, we describe the inclusive analysis of the 350,000…

The proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) is well-suited for discovering physics beyond the Standard Model and for precisely unravelling the structure of the underlying physics. The physics return of the ILC can be maximized by the…
