Based on an integrated luminosity of 1.61 fb$^{-1}$ $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the KLOE detector at DA$\Phi$NE, the Frascati $\phi$-factory, a search for the $P$- and $CP$-violating decay $\eta\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ has been…
We have performed a search for the rare leptonic decay B+ --> mu+ nu_mu with data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II storage ring. In a sample of 88.4 million BBbar pairs, we find no significant…
We present the observation of the decay B0 -> chi_c0K*0 as well as evidence of B+ -> chi_c0K*+, with an 8.9 and a 3.6 standard deviation significance, respectively, using a data sample of 454 million Y(4S) -> BB decays collected with the…

We report results of a search for $B\to\tau\nu$ in a sample of 9.7 million charged $B$ meson decays. The search uses both $\pi\nu$ and $\ell\nu\bar\nu$ decay modes of the $\tau$, and demands exclusive reconstruction of the companion $\bar…
The branching ratios of the measured decay $K_L\to\pi^+\pi^-e^+e^-$ and of the still unmeasured decay $K^+\to\pi^+\pi^0e^+e^-$ are calculated to next-to-leading order in Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT). Recent experimental results are…
We examine e+e- to Ds- Ds*+ or Ds-* Ds+ collisions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant f_Ds+. We use the Ds+ to ell+ nu channel, where the ell+ designates either a mu+ or a tau+. Analyzing both modes…
A search for the decay K_S -> pi^0mu^+mu^- has been made by the NA48/1 Collaboration at the CERN SPS accelerator. The data were collected during 2002 with a high-intensity K_S beam. Six events were found with a background expectation of…
Motivated by new precise results on several $K_L$ decays, sensitive to the ${K_L \to \gamma \gamma}$ form factor, we present a new analysis of the $K_L\to \mu^+\mu^-$ long-distance amplitude based on a semi-phenomenological approach.…
We report the first measurement of a structure dependent component in the decay K^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma. Using the kinematic region where the muon kinetic energy is greater than 137 MeV and the photon energy is greater than 90 MeV, we find…
We establish upper limits on branching fractions for B0 decays to final states where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for B0 decays to nu nubar gamma. Within the Standard Model, these…
The HyperCP collaboration has presented the branching ratio of $\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ to be $(8.6^{+6.6}_{-5.4}\pm 5.5)\times 10^{-8}$ and suggested a new boson $P^0$ with a mass of $214.3\pm 0.5$ MeV to induce the flavor changing…
We report the observation of the radiative decay B+ --> K1(1270)+ gamma using a data sample of 140 fb-1 taken at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We find the branching fraction to be Br(B+ -->…
